This is remarkable considering how short a time (on a Universe scale) it takes for planets to form. Planets form in tens of millions of years. I'm excited to see what they discover over the next 4 years. They haven't yet found orbital motion, and are going to do follow-up observations to check for it. In addition to those confused by the "The data suggest that the planet’s atmosphere is cloudy." statement. The article just cherry picked a phrase from the paper. It just means, looking at evolutionary models of early stage planet predictions, the light produced by this object is most consistent with "a young planetary-mass body with a dusty or cloudy atmosphere".
