Super-Earth extrasolar planet, artwork C015 / 0800
Super-Earth extrasolar planet seen from the surface of its moon, artwork. Its parent red dwarf star is at lower centre, being transited by an inner planet. A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than Earth s, but substantially below the mass of the Solar Systems gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This planet has oceans, and an atmosphere that can support clouds. Earth-like planets capable of supporting life are found only in a stars habitable zone, a region around a star where the surface temperature of a planet is suitable for liquid water

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Super-Earth extrasolar planet, as seen from the surface of its moon. The artwork, created by LYNETTE COOK, beautifully captures the awe-inspiring landscape of this distant celestial body. At the center of the image lies its parent red dwarf star, radiating an ethereal glow that illuminates the surrounding space. A smaller inner planet can be observed transiting across the face of this stellar giant. What sets this Super-Earth apart is its unique composition and potential for sustaining life. With a mass exceeding that of Earth but falling short of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, it possesses vast oceans and an atmosphere capable of supporting clouds. The presence of liquid water on this terrestrial planet hints at its habitable nature - a crucial factor in determining if life could thrive here. Earth-like planets with such conditions are rare gems found within a star's habitable zone – an area where temperatures allow for liquid water to exist. As we gaze upon this otherworldly scene, we are reminded once again how vast and diverse our universe truly is. This extraordinary artwork invites us to imagine what mysteries lie beyond our own solar system and ignites our curiosity about alien worlds yet to be explored.
