VB 10 was discovered in 1944 by the astronomer George van Biesbroeck using the 82 in (2.1 m) Otto Struve reflector telescope at the McDonald Observatory. He found it while surveying the telescopic field of view of the high- proper-motion red dwarf Gliese 752 …

May 28, 2009 · Astronomers successfully used the astrometry planet-hunting method for the first time to discover a gas planet, called VB 10b, around a very tiny star, VB 10. This artist's diagram compares our solar system (below) to the VB 10 star system.

The Arsenal VB 10 was a French fighter-interceptor aircraft developed during and shortly after World War II. It was a low-wing monoplane with retractable tailwheel undercarriage and of largely orthodox configuration.

The VB 10 star is one of the smallest known—and holds the record for the smallest known to host a planet. It's a dim, red M-dwarf with only one-tenth the size, and one-twelfth the mass, of our sun. Its planet, on the other hand, is quite hefty, with six times the mass of Jupiter.
