These are real images of exoplanets.
Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away.
These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark.
And we can see them.

Somewhat ridiculously, Saturn now has 128 new moons, bring its total to 274.
These are mostly tiny rocks, a few miles across, that orbit the planet backwards – but they might be evidence of a recent smashup in the planet's orbit.

Saturn Gains 128 New Moons, Bringing Its Total to 274 (Gift Article)
The objects around the ringed planet are tiny, but some of them may have formed relatively recently in the solar system’s history.
