Resolving extrasolar planets so difficult that one can concisely list[1] all of the planets that have ever been resolved and adding an entry is a significant achievement. Directly imaging extrasolar planets is only possible given certain conditions (type of star, orbit, planet size/type, etc.) The vast bulk of extrasolar planets cannot be resolved directly with contemporary instruments.
