That image..what you call the eye of soron isnt the planet. thats the star with some manipulation done to the image to see the planet, which is a mere speck of light in the surrounding area of said image.

^Why get into details and ruin the thread? I agree with the OP that it is remarkably similar to the Eye of Sauron. This can clearly be seen by looking at that wicked cool photo.

Must be a new star system to have a dust ring hanging around it like that.

The OP's right. Should call it 'Sauron's Eye.'

And caniff, I don't call getting into details ruining a thread. There are worse ways to ruin a thread, don't you know.

I dunno if you want to ruin a thread you need to invite the right people.

That's odd...the journal Science published a report on Thursday that the first images of planets in another solar system were discovered last July:
