Alien landscape and moons. Artwork of the view from an alien planet,with a gas giant plant at top centre. Such extrasolar planets are detected by a variety of methods. Exoplanets so far discovered range from very large gas giant planets to rocky planets of various sizes,some thought to be like Earth. Here,the parent star is shining through clouds at top right. These clouds,and mist and ice on the mountains,indicate the presence of liquid water on an Earth-like world. This depicts possible conditions on one of the planets discovered around the star Tau Ceti. Tau Ceti lies around 11.7 light years from Earth,and is visible to the naked eye | |
