Hubble Directly Observes A New Planet

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken the first visible-light snapshot of a planet circling another star. Estimated to be no more than three times Jupiter's mass, the planet, called Fomalhaut b, orbits the bright southern star Fomalhaut, located 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Australis, or the "Southern Fish."

How crazy would it be if there really was another planet Earth out there with living and breathing people like you and I? Definitely a possibility and the thought is kind of amazing.
