Hubble Snaps Photo of Extrasolar Planet
iamlucky13 writes "Space.com has reported that a Hubble Space Telescope photo supports with a very high degree of confidence that a picture taken by the European Space Observatory does indeed show an extrasolar planet. As many readers know, planets outside our solar system are typically found by watching for wobbles in a star's orbit or for dimming caused by the planet crossing in front of its star. The ESO and Hubble images would represent the 1st and 2nd times that planets outside our solar system have been directly detected. The planet is about 5 times as massive as Jupiter and orbits a brown dwarf a little farther out than Pluto orbits our own sun."
Yes because it's not only used to observe space but also to zoom in on the hot chicks down at the beach.
Its the third Death Star. Too Bad for them we've spotted it.
Again with the Klingons...
People say I'm overly analytical. I wonder why that is?
You've got it wrong. It would suck the paint off your house and give your family a permanent orange afro.
