Alien landscape and nebulae, artwork
Alien landscape and planet. Artwork of the view from a moon of a gas giant extrasolar planet (top right), with another moon at lower right. Such 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. These gas giants are free-floating planets that have formed independently or been ejected from their parent system. These examples were detected here in the starbirth region known as the Orion Nebula, some 1500 light years from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an otherworldly scene, a mesmerizing alien landscape and nebulae that transport us to the far reaches of the universe. The artwork depicts the breathtaking view from a moon orbiting a gas giant extrasolar planet, with another moon visible in the lower right corner. These celestial bodies, ranging from colossal gas giants to Earth-like rocky planets, have been discovered through various detection methods. The image captures our imagination as we marvel at these free-floating gas giants that have either formed independently or been expelled from their original star systems. Situated within the Orion Nebula, located approximately 1500 light years away from Earth, these extraordinary examples emerge amidst the birthplace of stars. The composition portrays an ethereal blend of colors and textures: wispy clouds intertwine with vibrant nebulae while distant stars illuminate this alien realm. As sunlight gently touches upon this unexplored terrain, it reveals hints of water ice glistening on its surface. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artistic prowess shines through in this awe-inspiring illustration. It invites contemplation about what lies beyond our known world and ignites curiosity about potential extraterrestrial life forms inhabiting these distant realms. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and exploration as we continue to unravel the mysteries concealed within our vast universe.
