The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) has taken the first ever image of a young, Sun-like star accompanied by two giant exoplanets.
Images of systems with multiple exoplanets are extremely rare, and astronomers had never directly observed more than one planet orbiting a star similar to the Sun.
The observations can help astronomers understand how planets formed and evolved around our own Sun.
