First fuzzy photos of planets outside solar system

[DeclinetoState]

WASHINGTON — Earth seems to have its first fuzzy photos of alien planets outside our solar system, images captured by two teams of astronomers. The pictures show four likely planets that appear as specks of white, nearly indecipherable except to the most eagle-eyed experts. All are trillions of miles away — three of them orbiting the same star, and the fourth circling a different star.

None of the four giant gaseous planets are remotely habitable or remotely like Earth. But they raise the possibility of others more hospitable.

It's only a matter of time before "we get a dot that's blue and Earthlike," said astronomer Bruce Macintosh of the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. He led one of the two teams of photographers.

One of the photos has been blown up. One of the gas giants has a habitable moon. In fact, life has been spotted there:

I eagerly await the imaging of an Earth-like world inside a star's Goldilocks zone (not too hot or too cold).

Imagine what kind of impact that would have on humanity.

It's inevitable.

Ya, maybe within the next trillion years . . .

You obviously know nothing about the subject.
