The Backyard Stargazer is on a brief hiatus while the observation platform / back deck is being rebuilt.

The universe just got a whole lot smaller, or larger depending on how you look at it.

According to National Geographic,

scientists at the University of Toronto have captured infrared images of a so-called normal star and its potential orbiter using a ground-based telescope at the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii.

We are living in historic times folks.
