Hubble does it again

A picture of Fomalhaut's dust ring shows that it's off center by half the size of our solar system. Such a large offset means there's something else massive in the system, while anything as big as a brown dwarf or bigger would be visible to the HST. Therefore, it's a planet!

Man, I'm going to miss Hubble when she dies. We all are. We can only hope that the JWST honors her memory well.
