Hubblecast 22: Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet Orbiting Fomalhaut.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn’s.

The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large telescope (VLT) located at Cerro Paranal in Northern Chile is constantly pursuing observations based on results from ESA’s space missions. At a height of 2600 m, the VLT is the world’s highest optical observatory and one of the most powerful.
