NASA selects potential small-scale astrophysics missions, Hubble measures exoplanet’s odd orbit – NASASpaceflight.com

The Hubble Space Telescope has successfully measured the highly eccentric and distant orbit of an exoplanet circling a double star system 336 light years from Earth. The new exoplanet information is potentially important much closer to home as scientists search for the proposed Planet Nine in our solar system.
