A team of astronomers have, for the first time, directly imaged a planet around another star. The planet is about three times the mass of Jupiter and is around 10 times further from its star than Saturn is from the Sun. The star, Fomalhaut, is relatively 'nearby' at just 25 light years from the Sun. It is much younger than our Sun at only 200 million years old (compared to the Sun's 4.5 billion). What an exciting discovery!
