That just make it even more amazing that we have now photographed a planet around Formalhaut when it is this hot - yes, i know they obscure the light of Formalhaut, but still amazing. No surprise Formalhaut b is found 115AU from Formalhaut. I guess since the star is this hot, its light intensity in the visible spectrum is relative low. Am i wrong?
