After years of searching, astronomers may finally have recorded the first image of a planet orbiting a sunlike star beyond the solar system. The body, about eight times Jupiter’s mass, lies exceptionally far from its presumed parent star — roughly 11 times Neptune’s average distance from the sun.
“If this object is a planet at such a wide separation it would challenge our conceptions of planet and companion formation,†says theorist Adam Burrows of Princeton University.
