The graphic is just for display. We don't have the technology to get an image like that. They know very little for sure right now, but will most likely get a better idea of what elements comprise the majority of the planet in coming months/years.

Haha, yea I know we can't image things like that. Light from that far away, assuming the faint little traces from over yonder are even able to register, would show up as an unrecognizable mess. Sort of like trying to paint Van Gogh style with buckshot as the medium.

Btw, how do you like teaching after settling in these past couple years? I've been thinking more and more about going that route. I'm not cutout for the corporate world! Also, still in Topeka?

Yeah pretty sure the only way we can see a planet like this by a) the shadow it casts or b) the slight pull it has on the sun it orbits, causing it wobble a little
