Los Angeles -- U.S. astronomers say a giant planet found outside our solar system is highlighting the remarkable resemblances between a distant planetary system and our own.

Researchers at UCLA, along with international colleagues, discovered and imaged a fourth planet in a distant solar system that resembles a supersized version of our own system, a UCLA release said Wednesday.

"Besides having four giant planets, both systems also contain two 'debris belts' composed of small rocky or icy objects, along with lots of tiny dust particles," Benjamin Zuckerman, a UCLA professor of physics and astronomy says.

Dallas -- Retired U.S. Secret Service Agent Clint Hill said the filming of a documentary on the Kennedy assassination was a cathartic moment for him and his colleagues.

The Discovery Channel documentary, along with a newly released book, are the first of the many works on the slaying of President Kennedy to include the observations of JFK's Secret Service detail, who as a group had kept quiet about the events of Nov. 22, 1963.

"We decided to discuss among ourselves what happened," Hill told the Dallas Morning News. "That was the first time we agreed to do that or had been willing to do that. We had all kept silent for 47 years."
