I'm really into space and when I found this I was extremely interested. Quoting ESO - " The first planet outside of our solar system to be imaged orbits a brown dwarf (centre-right) at a distance that is nearly twice as far as Neptune is from the sun. The photo is based on three near-infrared exposures (in the H, K and L' wavebands) with the NACO adaptive-optics facility at the 8.2-m VLT Yepun telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory. " Picture: Edit: Yeah I know you might be saying, " wait I thought they found planets before. " Well thats where you are wrong.A real photograph of a planet has never been taken although astronomers see " wobbles " in stars which distinctly tells them that there is another small object orbiting it. Seeing as how the object is not emitting light they can clearly decifer that it's a planet.
Yes it is. the picture had to be taken by infrared waves. Meaning all you are seeing is the heat of the 2 objects taken at the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum
Have you guys heard about them blowing up (In a way ) that comet. They are sending a proobe that will drop some thing that's supposed to cut a huge crated in the commet causing it to release dust and it should be visible with the naked eye if you are in an area not polluted with light.
We dont celebrate 4th of juli here, but dunno if i can see it, cus its almost on the other side of the Earth with you guys
