Nov. 13, 2008 -- Earth seems to have its first fuzzy photos of alien planets outside our solar system.

The images show four likely planets that appear as specks of white that are nearly indecipherable except to the most eagle-eyed astronomers. But it is evidence of the existence of something far more cosmic than a blurry dot.

"It is a step on that road to understand if there are other planets like Earth and potentially life out there," said astronomer Bruce Macintosh of the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, one of two teams of out-of-this-solar system photographers.

None of the four giant gaseous planets are remotely habitable or remotely like Earth. But they raise the possibility of others more hospitable, and Macintosh said it's only a matter of time before "we get a dot that's blue and Earthlike."

The two groups of astronomers -- one using the Hubble Space Telescope and the other using two ground telescopes -- have captured images of the exoplanets, which are what scientists call planets that don't circle our sun. Both studies were being published in Thursday's online edition of the journal Science.

In the past 13 years, scientists have discovered more than 300 planets outside our solar system, but they have done so indirectly, by measuring changes in gravity, speed or light around stars

Not true - there were a total of 318 extra-stellar planets observed before these were.

Oh come one people:

There are four dimensions within our universe:

*Length
*Width
*Depth
*Time

Yes, time is a dimension. There are only 3 spacial dimensions (length, width, and depth; x,y,z).

Aliens do not live in "another dimension". That's silly.

11 dimensions as per the M-theory, which has yet to be proven.

What do you think the "D" stands for in 3-D? It stands for dimension!

There's no point in asking if we "believe" in dimensions, seeing as they are proven to exist. Unless, of course, you mean "dimensions" as another word for "spaces", in which case they do not fall under the proper definition for a "physical" or "mathematical" dimension.
