Please let this be real. The first direct visual evidence of planets outside our own solar system. Inference is all very well, but this is the real thing.

ETA: But wait, there's more. This indicates that HR8799 may have *two* visible planets. Although in this case there isn't any time comparison to indicate orbital movement.

Oh. I won't send you the pictures then.

Like you, I will be interested to see if this is confirmed.
