This image shows the planetary system HR 8799. The image background is black. At the centre of the image, there is a symbol representing a star labeled HR 8799. This star blocks the light from the host star. There are four exoplanets, which look like fuzzy dots, pictured in the image surrounding the star. Furthest from the star is a fuzzy, faint blue dot, labeled b, at the 10 o’clock position. At the one o’clock position, second furthest from the star is a blueish-white fuzzy dot labeled c. Just below that is an orange dot labeled e. At the four o’clock position, still nearby the star, is another fuzzy white dot labeled d.
