Planetary system around Trappist-1 - Artist's impressions of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system: Artist's view of extrasolar planets around the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. At least seven exoplanets the size of the Earth are orbiting this star 40 light years ago in the constellation Aquarius. All could contain water. This artist's impression shows several of the planets orbiting the ultra-cool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. New observations, when combined with very sophisticated analysis, have now yielded good estimates of the densities of all seven of the Earth-sized planets and suggest that they are rich in volatile materials, probably water

Exoplanete SWEEPS-10: SWEEPS-10 is an exoplanet located towards the galactic center. This hot jupiter is one of the hottest exoplanets discovered to date with a temperature of 1650 degres. SWEEPS-10 is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star SWEPS J175902.00 291323.7 located in the Galactic bulge at a distance of approximately 22,000 light years from Earth. It completes an orbit of its star in just 10 hours, and is categorized as an ultra-short period planet (USPP). Located only 1.2 million kilometers from its star, the planet is among the hottest ever detected; its estimated temperature is approximately 1,650 degrees Celsius. This planet must be at least 1.6 times the mass of Jupiter

Exoplanete Ross 128 b: Ross 128 b is an extrasolar planet probably of an Earth type, located only 11 light years from Earth in the constellation of the Virgin. Planet Ross 128 b, with its red dwarf parent star in the background. This planet, which lies only 11 light-years from Earth, was found by a team using Eso's unique planet-hunting HARPS instrument. The new world is now the second-closest temperate planet to be detected after Proxima b. It is also the closest planet to be discovered orbiting an inactive red dwarf star, which may increase the likelihood that this planet could potentially sustain life.

Life on an Exoplanet - Extraterrestrial life - Artist's view of alien life forms where the boundary between animal and plant life appears less obvious than on Earth. Given the mind - boggling variety of life on our own planet, it's difficult to presume that life hasn't also made a home on at least some of the trillions of other worlds believed to inhabit the universe. This image suggests a world where the distinction between animal and plant life on the macro scale isn't so straightforward as it is on Earth

Exoplanete Gliese 1214 b -: Gliese 1214 b (or GJ 1214 b) is a super-earth exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 1214 in the constellation Ophiuchus, whose discovery was announced on December 16, 2009. It is located about 40 light years from the Sun. It is the third discovered exoplanet whose size is smaller than that of a gas giant and the first on which water could be present in large quantities given its size and estimated mass. It could be the first ocean planet discovered. Gliese 1214 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star Gliese 1214. The parent star is 13 parsecs (approximately 40 light-years) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. The planet was discovered in December 2009. It is classified as a Super-earth because it is larger than Earth but has a mass and radius significantly less than those of the gas giants in the Solar System.

This cluster contains about 50,000 stars and is riding high above our own Milky Way galaxy. Like other globular clusters, it may be the remnant of the core of a small galaxy long ago adsorbed by the larger Milky Way. There may even be a black hole lurking at its center. Globular clusters usually contain very old stars. Any planets to be found in one would likely be much older than the Earth

Brown dwarf with asteroid ring - Artist's view of a brown dwarf star surrounded by an asteroid belt. In the foreground, a primitive exoplanet illuminated by the star. This brown dwarf is host to a disk composed primarily of asteroids and boulders. The light from this dwarf is barely enough to illuminate the surface of this primitive planet. At a distance of about 1.5 million miles, the orbit of this planet is aligned to the plane of the rings with the result that they appear as a fuzzy line occulting the glowing face of this brown dwarf

Planet Ross 128 b, with its red dwarf parent star in the background. This planet, which lies only 11 light-years from Earth, was found by a team using Eso's unique planet-hunting HARPS instrument. The new world is now the second-closest temperate planet to be detected after Proxima b. It is also the closest planet to be discovered orbiting an inactive red dwarf star, which may increase the likelihood that this planet could potentially sustain life.

Then over the next several tens of thousands of years the star episodically ejects its outer layers into space, sometimes producing concentric shells. These ejected layers eventually form a planetary nebula. What will subsequently remain of the star is a small, extremely hot core which cools off to become a white dwarf.

The perspective is from the equator of an airless planet, orbiting the brown dwarf at a distance of about 4 million miles. This planet's orbit is very nearly aligned to the plane of the rings, hence the debris appears as a sword - like straight line

Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - Artist's view of the extrasolar planet Fomalhaut b, a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Fish. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years. This illustration shows the discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its sun, Fomalhaut. This structure is a Saturn - like ring that astronomers say may encircle the planet. Fomalhaut also is surrounded by a ring of material. The edge of this vast disk is shown in the background as the curving cloud - like feature that appears to intersect the 200 - million year - old star. Fomalhaut b lies three billion kilometers inside the disk's inner edge. The planet completes an orbit around Fomalhaut every 872 years
