Three simulated planets -- one as bright as Jupiter, one half as bright as
Jupiter and one as faint as Earth -- stand out plainly in this image
created from a sequence of 480 images captured by the High Contrast
Imaging Testbed at JPL. A roll-subtraction technique, borrowed from space
astronomy, was used to distinguish planets from background light. The
asterisk marks the location of the system's simulated star.
