First Direct Photo of Exoplanet Confirmed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the say-cheese-guys dept.

An anonymous reader noted a report confirming the first ever exoplanet actually photographed from telescopes on earth. Every other exoplanet so far 'observed' has been done by measuring wobbles of stars pulled by planetary gravity. But this one is a photograph. And that's just plain cool.

    A bit off topic but I always remember it being "an anonymous coward" not reader. I haven't been on Slashdot as religiously the past year so I hope things haven't changed.
