Photo of planet outside solar system
Picture

This picture released by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) shows the first planet outside of our solar system to be pictured orbiting a brown dwarf at a distance that is nearly twice as far as Neptune is from the sun. The planet, known as an exoplanet, is five times bigger and 10 times hotter than the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. PHOTO: AFP
