"Speaking of Hubble..." Phantom Planet

Hundreds of planets have been found beyond our solar system. Of these “extrasolar planets,” or “exoplanets” for short, one has remained perplexing and infamous 12 years after its purported discovery.
The object’s formal designation is TMR-1c. It lies about 450 light-years away in the Taurus molecular cloud. Back in 1998, astronomer Susan Tereby announced that this could [...]
TMR-1C appears to lie at the end of a strange filament of light.Hundreds of planets have been found beyond our solar system. Of these “extrasolar planets,” or “exoplanets” for short, one has remained perplexing and infamous 12 years after its purported discovery.The object’s formal designation is TMR-1c. It lies about 450 light-years away in the Taurus molecular cloud. Back in 1998, astronomer Susan Tereby announced that this could be the first exoplanet directly photographed. At the time, Tereby cautiously called it a “candidate planet.”Hubble’s infrared image was compellingly believable. A very red — and therefore cool — pinpoint object was at the end of a ghostly finger of illuminated dust stretching 135 billion miles from a young binary star system. The telltale finger was interpreted as being formed after the planet was gravitationally ejected from the binary system.But it was not clear ...
