This is the public webcast of the ESO VLT on the issue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFLkewQIzoA&feature=youtu... I'd just like to point out that seeing that cloud isn't actually nearly as hard as getting direct observations of planets around other stars. The cloud is very brightly lit by all the stars around it, and is far enough from other light sources that you can just point a telescope at it without needing any tricks. Contrast this to looking at much dimmer planets that are very close to very bright stars. And we've been able to do that for big enough planets since 2008. |
