A 12-year sequence of telescope images of a star and four planets orbiting

A 12-year sequence of images from a telescope has captured the orbits of a star and four planets. The images were taken by amateur astronomer Brandon Clark, known as The Planetary Guy, and showcase the movement of the planets over time. The star, which is a small, cool red dwarf, is located about 40 light-years away in the constellation of Fornax. The four planets are thought to be gas giants, with the innermost one being the closest to the star. The images were captured using a telescope in Arizona, USA, and demonstrate the power of long-term observation and the importance of citizen science in astronomy.
