Possible first image of a yellow-star extrasolar planet
Phil Plait reports on an unconfirmed image from a Hawaiian telescope that appears to show a planet in orbit around a remote yellow star. Whoa.
We've been discovering extrasolar planets for many years now, but unless I'm mistaken, we have yet to actually snap a discrete piccie of one. This would be hella cool.
Edit OK, was msitaken: we've shot a planet around a brown dwarf before. But yellow stars are more exciting.
