  • Oppose as this is not an actual image, just an artist's concept. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Crisco is right, but I don't think an actual image of a planetary system other than our own is possible. Planets outside our solar system are essentially found by inference from observations, not looking at them through a telescope directly. Even an image of our own solar system won't be possible for many years. We would have to get the equipment very far away, which takes a long, long time. That said, I have issues with the scale of this image. I think the planets are too big relative to the star. JJ Harrison (talk) 08:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
