Martin Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/050401_first_extrasolarplanet_pic.html after observing the prospective planet at GQ Lupi since 1999, they've made it definite. it is for sure a planet and not just some background object that looks like a planet. it's just a fluke they announced on 1 April. the same story is posted at cnn.com http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/04/01/extrasolar.planet.photo/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is a telescope in mexico (i think) called VLA- Very Large Array, so the name may exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
