ET Discovers Young Star with Planetary Companion | A team led by a University of Florida astronomer has
discovered a planet orbiting a star about 100 light-years
from Earth. The star is just 600 million years old, one
of the youngest stars ever found with a planetary
companion. The discovery was made at Kitt Peak National
Observatory with a new interferometric instrument called
the Exoplanet Tracker (ET) that promises to greatly expand
the efficiency of searches for new exoplanets. NOAO Image Release 06-01.
