Title: First images of exoplanets
Post by: PG on November 14, 2008, 11:01:12 AM
Here's a little news story of some exoplanets (planets orbiting a sun that is not our own.....like we own it ;D) Sadly only the one rather pixelated photo. I'm sure there must be others somewhere though.

This is a picture of the planet itself rather than the system.
