Exo planets space

A solitary planet in an eccentric orbit around an ancient star may help astronomers understand exactly how such planetary systems are formed.

'Goldilocks' stars may be 'just right' for finding habitable worlds.

Astronomy on Instagram: "This is Earth compared to 3 (potentially) habitable exo planets elsewhere in the universe. An exo planet is a planet orbiting a foreign star outside of our own solar system. These planets were never known to exist prior to the late 1900’s. 1️⃣ Kepler 186f - 582 light years away 2️⃣ Kepler 442b - 1,100 light years away 3️⃣ Kepler 62f - 1,200 light years away These exo planets are crazy far away, taking over half a millennium for light to get to the first one. Even…

MILKY WAY, SAUDI ARABIA.

Unbound Alien Planets ~ Astronomers have discovered a whole new class of alien planet: a vast population of Jupiter-mass worlds that float through space without any discernible host star. While some of these exo-planets could potentially be orbiting a star from very far away, the majority of them most likely have no parent star at all. And these strange worlds aren't mere statistical anomalies. They likely outnumber "normal" alien planets with obvious parent stars by at least 50 percent…

With the help of scientific models and up-to-date information, this poster attempts to artistically visualize together over 800 of known exoplanets believed to be rocky or terrestrial, including dozens of Earth-like habitable worlds, comparing their relative sizes and providing a window to how they might actually look like.
