"Groundbreaking Photo Captures Fascinating Solar System Through Massive Telescope"
Scientists using the Very Large Telescope have captured an image of the HIP 81208 star system, revealing a gas giant planet named HIP 81208 Cb. This discovery makes HIP 81208 a unique hierarchical quadruple system with two stars and two smaller bodies orbiting each one. The newly found planet is located at the border between planets and brown dwarfs, and its mass is approximately 15 times that of Jupiter. The image provides a rare direct view of an exoplanet, as most are too distant and small to be imaged.
