“We are normal!” – After thirty years of observational work, largely from Maunakea, astronomers reveal that the gas giant planets in many other solar systems lie at about the same distance from their stars as Jupiter does in our own solar system. Full press releases: W.M.Keck Observatory and University of Hawaii.

The much-brighter host star has been mostly removed, and the four "spikes" are artifacts produced by the optics of the telescope. (Credit: University of Hawai`i)
