<https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/a-four-planet-system-in-orbit-directly-imaged-and-remarkable/>

"This evocative movie of four planets more massive than Jupiter orbiting
the young star HR 8799 is a composite of sorts, including images taken
over seven years at the W.M. Keck observatory in Hawaii."

Very cool.  Via Corina Marinescu and Peter Schmidt.

Share and enjoy,
