New exoplanet discovered using precision astrometry.

Data from ESA's Gaia spacecraft has allowed astronomers to image a massive exoplanet using Japan's Subaru Telescope, marking the first confirmed exoplanet found by Gaia's ability to sense the gravitational tug or 'wobble' a planet induces on its star. This technique points the way to the future of direct exoplanet imaging, and the success of finding this planet provides a new path forward to discovering more exoplanets and characterizing them in a more holistic way than before.
