Illustration of one of the Voyager probes passing an earthlike planet orbiting a binary star system in the distant future. A nebula is seen in the background. The two Voyager probes were launched in the late 1970s. Voyager 1 has now passed into...

Illustration of a free-floating planet. These planets are odd in that, unlike most extrasolar objects, they do not seem to be in orbit around a star - they are free-floating planets drifting between the stars and galaxies. Free floating planets such...

Illustration of the landscape of an icy extrasolar planet. The planet has at least two moons. Cryonic geysers are seen in the foreground. Similar events are known to occur in the Solar System, on Enceladus, Triton and possibly Europa.

Gas Giant Seen From Orbiting Moon

Proxima is the nearest star to the Sun. It is a dim red dwarf, smaller than our Sun and many thousands of times brighter. Here we see it seen with an orbiting rocky planet, recently discovered, called Proxima b. At the bottom, just above the horizon...
