GIANT PINK PLANET!!

Using infrared data from the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, an international team of astronomers has imaged a giant planet around the bright star GJ 504. Several times the mass of the Jupiter and similar in size, the new world, dubbed GJ 504b, is the lowest- mass planet ever detected around a star like Sun using direct imaging techniques...
