Hubble spies out Sauron

The Hubble telescope has captured an image that proves that Sauron escaped from Barad-Dur and is plotting his revenge:

A spectacular, luminous ring offers the best evidence yet that a nearby star is circled by a newly formed solar system.

The ring is composed of dust particles in orbit around Fomalhaut, a bright star located just 25 light years away in the constellation Pisces Austalis — or the Southern Fish. A recent image captured with the Hubble Space Telescope — which makes the system look uncannily like the Great Eye of Sauron from the blockbusting Lord of the Rings trilogy — confirms that Fomalhaut’s ring is curiously offset with respect to the star.

I'd be plotting paths to the nearest volcano if I were you . . .
