The international team of astronomers, in the first week of August 2013, captured the image of a huge planet around the bright Sun-like star- GJ 504. The image of the exoplanet was captured by making use of the infrared data from the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. The newly captured exoplanet was dubbed as GJ 504b. It is the lowest-mass planet ever detected around the star, by making use of the direct imaging techniques.
