Alien landscape and planet, artwork C016 / 6347
Alien landscape and planet. Artwork of the view from a moon of a gas giant extrasolar planet. 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. Here, the parent star is shining from upper right, heating the moons surface to very high temperatures. A gas giant planet orbiting close to its parent star is known as a Hot Jupiter or epistellar Jovian

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Alien landscape and planet" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to the view from a moon of a gas giant extrasolar planet. The artwork beautifully captures the awe-inspiring expanse of our universe, where countless celestial bodies await discovery. In this otherworldly scene, we witness the parent star casting its radiant glow from the upper right corner, illuminating the moon's surface with intense heat. The result is an alien landscape characterized by high temperatures and lifelessness. Majestic mountains and peaks rise against a backdrop of swirling clouds, creating an ethereal atmosphere that hints at untold mysteries. The artist skillfully portrays the vast range of exoplanets discovered so far – from colossal gas giants to rocky planets resembling our own Earth. This particular gas giant orbits remarkably close to its parent star, earning it the name "Hot Jupiter" or "epistellar Jovian". As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork by Detlev van Ravenswaay from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about distant worlds and potential alien life forms. It serves as a poignant reminder that there is still much left for us to explore in our ever-expanding understanding of astrophysics and planetary science.
