Amazing Image of an Extrasolar Planet
November 14th 2008
This is a pretty incredible sight - a Hubble Space Telescope image of a planet orbiting a star 25 light years away from Earth. I am in awe. It’s not the first one ever taken of an extrasolar planet, but it’s certainly the clearest, and the first of one orbiting a normal star similar to the sun. The planet is about the size of Jupiter and estimated to be around 200 million years old. Amazing!
