The article describes the direct imaging of multiple planets orbiting the star HR 8799, a young, massive A-type star located 39.4 parsecs away from Earth. The planets, named HR 8799b, c, and d, were discovered using high-contrast observations with the Keck and Gemini telescopes. These planets have projected separations of 24, 38, and 68 astronomical units (AU) from the star, respectively, and exhibit counter-clockwise orbital motion. The low luminosity of the companions and the estimated age of the system (60 ± 20 million years) suggest that the planets have masses between 5 and 13 times that of Jupiter. The system is similar to a scaled-up version of the outer portion of our Solar System, with the planets orbiting at distances comparable to the orbits of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in our Solar System. The article also discusses the implications of these findings for planet formation theories and the potential presence of other Jovian-mass planets or lower-mass terrestrial planets in the inner part of the system.The article describes the direct imaging of multiple planets orbiting the star HR 8799, a young, massive A-type star located 39.4 parsecs away from Earth.
