See it on NASA's siteIn 1995, astronomers announced the discovery of a planet orbiting 51 Pegasi, a star similar to our Sun. The planet itself is not visible in images; it is detected by the subtle changes in the star's motion. This discovery was a significant step in understanding if other stars host their own planetary systems.
