You don't know much about hunting for exoplanets, do you?

Few pictures are available because detection is seldom made using "pictures" of the planet.(I'll let you Google the methods of detection used for finding "exoplanets".)

There is a region in the sky called the "Brown Dwarf Desert". (I'll let you Google your way to find out where it is in the sky.)

Within that region, a brown dwarf sun, catalogued as HD137510 has a companion orbiting it. The exoplanet is 26 times the mass of Jupiter. (I'll let you Google what Jupiter weighs.)

The exoplanet goes by the name HD137510b, but you can call it "George".
