Extrasolar planetary system, artwork
Extrasolar planetary system. Computer artwork of a stellar system with an Earth-like planet (centre) orbiting a star (upper centre), as seen from the surface of a futuristic, alien world. The galaxy it inhabits is stretching across the sky at centre left and a distant galaxy is also seen at far right. An alien (extrasolar) planet has to fit a narrow range of sizes and distances from its star if it is to have a surface temperature suitable for liquid water, and to retain an atmosphere. Many planets have already been discovered orbiting nearby stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork takes us on a journey to an extrasolar planetary system, where the boundaries of imagination and scientific discovery intertwine. At the center of this mesmerizing print, we find an Earth-like planet gracefully orbiting its parent star in the upper center. From the surface of a futuristic alien world, we gaze upon this celestial dance with awe-inspiring wonder. Stretching across the sky at center left is a magnificent galaxy, showcasing its vastness and beauty. In the far right corner, another distant galaxy adds to the cosmic tapestry that surrounds us. The sheer magnitude of these galactic wonders reminds us of our place in the universe. The artist skillfully portrays how crucial it is for an extrasolar planet to fit within specific size and distance parameters from its star in order to sustain liquid water and retain an atmosphere. This delicate balance between elements creates conditions suitable for life as we know it. As we immerse ourselves in this breathtaking illustration, our minds are transported beyond our own Milky Way into uncharted territories filled with infinite possibilities. It serves as a reminder that there are countless planets waiting to be discovered around nearby stars. Through this artwork by Science Photo Library, we glimpse into a future where space exploration continues to unravel mysteries and push boundaries. It ignites our curiosity about what lies beyond our familiar horizons and invites us to dream boldly about what awaits us among distant galaxies and alien worlds.
