Kepler-42 planetary system, artwork C013 / 9948
Kepler-42 planetary system. Computer artwork showing extrasolar planets orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-42 (KOI-961, upper left). This tiny planetary system lies around 130 light years from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus, and consists of three known planets orbiting the star. The system is so compact it is more like Jupiter and its moons than a star and its planets. KOI-961.03 (lower right) is the smallest of the three planets and is located the farthest from the star, with a radius only 0.57 times that of Earth, about the same size as Mars. The next planet KOI-961.01 (upper right) is 0.78 times the radius of Earth, and the planet closest to the star, KOI-961.02 (upper left) has a radius 0.73 times the Earth s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Kepler-42 Planetary System" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the vastness of space. Located approximately 130 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, this tiny planetary system revolves around the enigmatic red dwarf star Kepler-42 (also known as KOI-961). In this computer-generated illustration, we witness three known planets gracefully orbiting their stellar host. The compact nature of this system is reminiscent of Jupiter and its moons rather than a traditional star with planets. Each planet possesses unique characteristics that make them intriguing celestial bodies. The farthest planet from the star, KOI-961.03, captivates our attention with its diminutive size - boasting a radius only 0.57 times that of Earth, comparable to Mars in scale. Moving closer to the star, we encounter KOI-961.01 with a radius 0.78 times that of our home planet. Finally, nestled closest to Kepler-42 lies KOI-961.02 - an exoplanet whose radius measures at 0.73 times that of Earth's own diameter. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by NASA/Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder of how expansive and diverse our universe truly is; filled with countless wonders waiting to be explored and understood by astrophysicists and astronomers alike.
