That is a LOT better than those boring 'artist impressions',
wehre you see the cows grazing on the earth like planets.

We're aiming to make some more pretty pictures for y'all too,
after the first one that came out last December:
http://www.naoj.org/Pressrelease/2009/12/03/index.html

Salient bit of that release: "The Subaru Telescope recently began its
first strategic observations for direct exoplanet hunting in October
2009. Over the next five years, its project SEEDS (Subaru Strategic
Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with HiCIAO/AO188) will search for
exoplanets and circumstellar disks around about 500 stars."
