Amazing... And with the Hedonic Treadmill theory i'm already forgetting about it
But there is something i don't get here. OK, so today it was annonced that Formalhaut B was discovered being the first direct image of an exoplanet.
I saw the press conferance and they talked a lot about the planet system with 3 planets that you linked to. And following your the link you posted just before the press conferance began i see that you (who started that post aswell) mention those three planets as if they had just been annonced today. Or am i wrong here? Those 3 were first but already had been disqualified for being exoplanets - how can it be that they haven't been mentioned before today? Do we have a total of 4 exoplanets imaged directly on the same day or what am i misunderstanding?
