How did they find this system? I thought to find planets,they relied on transits, which meant the plane of the system had to be edge on to us.

Kind of neat that it happens to have what appears to be 8 planets in the system! I’m sure there’s more though and the ones we see are just the largest.

I like how the dark spots around the star kinda look like a four leaf clover.

How do the orbits and scale of this system compare to ours? This is amazing to see

Yayyyy! That’s amazing. I am so happy we can see this. I hope we stay far far away from this planetary system until our species becomes a little more grown up and don’t try to kill everything.

This came out in 2020? Is there a reason it’s being shared now?

It looks like an eyeball, It’s wild how often the universe ends up looking familiar. Like it’s staring back at us.

How is this possible..? Don’t we use starlight dip to ‘see’ exo-planets..? I don’t think the tech exists to do this kind of image…
