"This remote world is widely separated from its host stars, whose brilliant light is masked here to allow the planet to be seen."

Summary[edit]

Description
English: "The planet resides outside its system's circumstellar debris disk, which is akin to our own Kuiper Belt of small, icy bodies beyond Neptune. The disk itself is asymmetric and distorted, perhaps due to the gravitational tug of the wayward planet. Other points of light in the image are background stars."
