• 16px Good lenght, not stub. Hook fact supported. Hook is short and well-formatted. Only WP:QPQ is missing. —Lappspira (talk) 08:21, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

• I see. I would consider to change "the smallest ever directly imaged" with "the smallest planet ever directly imaged", because it is not obvious if it is the smallest Jupiter-like planet or even the the star. The average reader cannot be expected to clue that out. Lappspira (talk) 08:17, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Calling it the smallest planet ever directly imaged is wrong, since planets in our own solar system have been imaged and are much less massive. Also consider replacing smallest with least-massive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:F140:400:A011:3940:F16D:75A5:A3E2 (talk) 22:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

• 16px if the IP commentary above is correct the 51 Eridani should be the smallest extrasolar planet ever imaged. Lappspira (talk) 04:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

• Good point - "extrasolar" added now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:28, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
