Today is the first day mankind has ever imaged an exoplanet. [The other
300+ exoplanet discoveries have been inferred from star wiggles and other
techniques.]
Yet, not only did they image one, but two separate star systems have been
imaged by two separate groups.
HR8799 (140 lyrs) from Keck with 3 exoplanets:
