It's a...

...planet! Astronomers appear to have imaged the birth of a planet for the first time. We're getting there.

Of course, it's a pretty big planet, perhaps a neo-Jupiter. But PDS 70b, as it's called (no fancy names yet) was detected by the Very Large Telescope in Chile.

How much more are we going to be able to see?
