after observing the prospective planet at GQ Lupi since 1999, they've made it definite. it is for sure a planet and not just some background object that looks like a planet.

 

it's just a fluke they announced on 1 April.

 

the same story is posted at cnn.com

I have to seriously consider believing that. April 1st, and the picture was taken from the VLT--Very Large Telescope.

Well there is a telescope in mexico (i think) called VLA- Very Large Array, so the name may exist.
