Young extrasolar gas giant, artwork
Young extrasolar gas giant. Artwork of a gas giant planet (right), two of its moons (lower left), and its parent star (upper left) in a 10 million years old star system. Traces of gas (white) are still visible in this relatively young system. The star will burn for billions of years. It is thought that gas giant planets form early on (in the first 10 million years) in the history of a star system, or not at all. This theory was proposed following an infrared survey made with the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a young extrasolar gas giant, surrounded by its celestial companions in a star system that is 10 million years old. The stunning illustration depicts the gas giant planet on the right side, adorned with two of its moons gracefully positioned in the lower left corner. Its parent star shines brightly in the upper left, illuminating this relatively youthful system. The image reveals traces of white gas still lingering around this nascent environment, offering a glimpse into the early stages of planetary formation. It is believed that gas giants like this one form within the first 10 million years of a star system's existence or not at all, according to an infrared survey conducted using the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). This groundbreaking theory has revolutionized our understanding of how planets come into being. As we marvel at this extraordinary scene, it becomes evident that our universe holds countless wonders yet to be discovered. This mesmerizing print invites us to contemplate the vastness and complexity of space while igniting our curiosity about distant worlds and their intricate relationships with their parent stars. With every passing moment, as this young star continues to burn for billions of years ahead, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within these alien planetary systems. Through scientific research and exploration like that facilitated by SST and other cutting-edge technologies, we inch closer towards comprehending our place in this awe-inspiring cosmos.
