first images of extrasolar planets!
This is incredible.
These aren't "artist conceptions" but actual photos of other solar systems. One is just 25 light years away. None of the planets are habitable, of course -- they're all gas giants larger than Jupiter, but this is just the beginning.
ETA: It's on page A1 of Friday's New York Times.
