B is the planet, C is a "planet-like object," and that big star-shaped object is ...a star. (from Princeton.edu)

So, we found a planet.

By we, I mean Princeton and…the University of Hawaii, the University of Toronto, the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Tokyo.

This new planet, which is only about 300 trillion miles from Earth, is about 10 to 40 times as massive as Jupiter. It also has a terrible name, GJ 758 B.

“It’s a groundbreaking find because one of the current goals of astronomy is to directly detect planet-like objects around stars like our sun,” said Michael McElwain, a postdoctoral research fellow in Princeton’s Department of Astrophysical Sciences who was part of the team that made the discovery.

It’s also sort of not, because scientists have found more than 400 “planet-like objects” since 1992. Like that “Earth-sized” one eight months ago.
