First Image of Extrasolar Planet Confirmed

An anonymous reader writes "The year-long controversy about whether the European Southern Observatory had indeed captured the first picture of an extrasolar planet has apparently been resolved. Journal publication today of a fuzzy image of this Jupiter-sized, extrasolar planet led Christophe Dumas, a member of the discovery team, to say enthusiastically: 'The thrill of seeing this faint source of light in real-time on the instrument display was unbelievable. Although it is surely much bigger than a terrestrial-size object, it is a strange feeling that it may indeed be the first planetary system beyond our own ever imaged.'"

Those hyperlinks suck

Before clicking, I figured out what "controversy" linked to. But "European Southern Observatory" didn't link to the ESO, "first picture" didn't link to a picture, "extrasolar planet" didn't link to a page explaining what extrasolar planets are, and who can guess what "indeed captured" should point to??
