A planet has been pictured outside our Solar System which appears to
be circling a star like our own Sun - a first in astronomy.

Most of the potential exoplanets imaged to date have been seen
orbiting brown dwarfs, which are dim - making it easier to detect
companion objects.

The new planet is huge, with a mass about eight times that of Jupiter.
