Images, each ∼1′ on a side, showing the proper motion of WISE 1534−1043 (circled in blue). The top two rows show WISE W1 and W2 images covering a 5 year time baseline. The bottom two rows show more recent images from Spitzer, Keck/MOSFIRE, and HST/WFC3. The source was not detected in the Keck image, so the position marked is inferred from the astrometric solution. The HST image includes a 5″ × 5″ inset highlighting the detection. North is up and east is to the left.
