It actually doesn't feel so far fetched. This is a picture of planet Eris 14 billion kilometers away taken by Hubble. The smaller dot is its moon Dysnomia.

When looking at the sky, an earth sized exoplanet orbiting the closest star other than sun would be something like 1/150 the diameter of Dysnomia.
