The third reference doesn't say that the planet is about 100 light years from Earth. The article doesn't give any distance figures at all. Is there a confirmed distance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.196.60.50 ( talk) 18:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
The central blue dot in the image is *very* dim, which means it is almost impossible to see when it's not enlarged. Should we add a coloured circle or arrow to point at it? I suspect some readers can confound it with the bright cyan spot. -- Cyclopia talk 17:29, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Are planets like these good candidates for direct imaging since there is no parent star? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.246.130.20 ( talk) 19:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
Article states that the body is a brown dwarf, but apparently cites this to a (non-technical) article that states that it probably isn't ("The team believe it has [...] mass between four and seven times that of Jupiter - well short of the mass limit that would make it a likely brown dwarf"). Unless something has changed since that article has been published and the mass estimate has been revised upwards, should this assertion not be removed? 212.159.69.4 ( talk) 00:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
