Extrasolar planets, artwork
Extrasolar planets, artwork. Some of the planets are transiting their parent star. If the Earth and the planets and its star are aligned correctly, this is one method that is used to detect such planets, which range in size from Earth-like to large gas giants. NASAs Kepler Observatory, launched in 2009, has detected hundreds of such candidate planets. Several planetary system with multiple planets, as shown here, have been discovered

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a mesmerizing array of extrasolar planets, some of which are seen transiting their parent star. The alignment of Earth, the planets, and their star allows scientists to detect these distant worlds, ranging in size from Earth-like to massive gas giants. NASAs Kepler Observatory, launched in 2009, has been instrumental in discovering hundreds of potential candidate planets using this method. The image reveals several planetary systems with multiple planets orbiting around their respective stars. These discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of the vastness and diversity of the universe. Each planet holds its own unique secrets waiting to be unraveled by astrophysicists and planetary scientists. The delicate crescent shape adds a touch of ethereal beauty to this astronomical illustration. It serves as a reminder that amidst the grandeur and complexity of space lies an inherent harmony that connects all celestial bodies. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also represents humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge beyond our own solar system. With each new discovery comes a deeper appreciation for the wonders that lie beyond our reach. Science Photo Library brings us yet another awe-inspiring glimpse into the mysteries of outer space through this stunning print.
