Exoplanet photo

[Dr Mordrid]

Done using the Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii using adaptive optics.

The star is 1RXS J160929.1-210524, which is about 500 light-years from Earth and has about 85% the mass of the sun. It's also much younger

The planet is about 8 Jupiter masses and lies 330 AU (150m km/93m miles) from its star - far enough to put in question many planet formation theories.

And yet they claim it's not possible to build a telescope capable of seeing the lunar rover on the moon...

Not using the IR/Visible/UV spectrums, Gurm... need something using a LOT higher spectrum, but those schemes do no work well against a solid background.
