E.T. Phone home

Just look at the picture. Go ahead, keep looking. No, this is not a play on your vision and some sail boat is going to appear. Just look. Any idea yet as to what this is?

This photo is actually the first photo of a planet outside our solar system. It is known as an exoplanet which is a planet that does not rotate around the sun. The pictures were taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which it 18 years old. That just proves that sometimes we do not need new advanced technology, the old goodies work just fine.

My only hope is if there is life outside Earth that they are as friendly and cute as E.T. I will keep some Reeses Pieces in my desk drawer just in case.
