What are the odds of there being smaller exoplanets that are effectively being outshone by the others? Since each one these is more massive than Jupitar.

They need to remove that one frame

When my mother was born, plate tectonics was a hypothesis. When I was born we didn't know for certain if planets existed outside of our solar system.

From ~0:04 - 0:05, two dots at ~10 and 8 o'clock fade in and out simultaneously, with roughly the size and brightness of the planets. They peak at observation ~2016-07-06. Any idea what they are?

Their balanced position and simultaneous changes make them seem like an artifact of the imaging.

It looks like they're only present for one real frame (of the original 10), so very possible that it's just noise in that frame.
