    My question would be why the images are so large? Overexposure I would assume, or maybe enhancement to show what are actually just dots, but the article doesn’t mention what distances the planets might be from the star. Even if it’s a close system, we’re probably looking at a number of AUs in width in this picture, at least. Any closer and gas giant gravities would affect each other’s orbit stability.
