SPACE.com -- First Direct Photo of Alien Planet Finally Confirmed

SPACE.com -- First Direct Photo of Alien Planet Finally Confirmed: "A planet outside of our solar system, said to be the first ever directly photographed by telescopes on Earth, has been officially confirmed to be orbiting a sun-like star, according to follow-up observations.

The alien planet is eight times the mass of Jupiter and orbits at an unusually great distance from its host star — more than 300 times farther from the star than our Earth is from the sun."
