Astronomers have followed for the first time ever an extra-solar planet in motion around a white star.
The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile was used to track the motion of Beta Pictoris b around what is belived to be the youngest known star to host a planet.The find shows that Jupiter-like giants can form near stars in much shorter time-spans than previously thought, the scientists report in Science journal. Astronomers have so far spotted some 450 extra-solar planets (exoplanets).
