An amazing picture, the first ever image of another multi-planet solar system, it was captured by the ESO (European Southern Observatory) telescope a revolutionary new ground based device with a 39m mirror. These particular planets are roughly 300 light years away which means that if we beam a radio signal at them today any intelligent life there would receive those signals in 2323 and if they sent a confirmation back we'd get that in 2624, so I probably won't lose any sleep over any potential LGM (little-green-men) scenarios..
