The first images are coming through. This is one of the first. I have seen others. I'll post some more, but I am due to head off to the country to begin my research study on binary star systems (yes, I'm entering the academic field in astronomy) and won't be back for a while.

Loremaster the Astronomer. Awesome! 8)

These exoplanets are awesome too. Can it be long before we find a planet with little green guys waving back at us? (Hey, I can still dream.)
