ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile captured the first-ever photo of multiple planets orbiting a Sun-like star (Credit: ESO/J. Girard / CC By-SA-4.0 Creativecommons.org)

While astronomers have discovered evidence of thousands of exoplanets, obtaining direct images of the distant worlds has always been a challenge. That's because the planets tend to huddle close to the star they orbit and often get concealed by their star's dazzling light. Of the handful of images captured, most are of a single planet orbiting a Sun-like star. The only two multi-planet systems photographed feature brown dwarfs, or "failed stars," which are radically different in nature from the Sun. Now, an international team of scientists may have finally captured a young, Sun-like star with two giant Jupiter and Saturn-like planets in orbit.

    That's pretty cool! Someday we'll be all over the solar system and beyond! Like in Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy!

                        Indeed, I've wanted to be an astronaut for a while now.
