Twelve-Year Time-Lapse Shows Star With Four Orbiting Planets
Original: A 12-year sequence of telescope images of a star and four planets orbiting
A newly shared sequence of telescope images condenses 12 years of observations into a short time-lapse showing a distant star with four planets orbiting it. The animation makes the exoplanets' slow orbital motion visible, something rarely captured directly, and is drawing wide attention as a striking example of direct imaging of alien worlds.
Why now: The rare direct visualization of planets moving around another star over more than a decade is captivating space enthusiasts.
