Alien landscape and planet, artwork C016 / 6351
Alien landscape and moons. Artwork of the view from an alien planet, with a gas giant plant at top centre. Such extrasolar 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 through clouds at top right. These clouds, and mist and ice on the mountains, indicate the presence of liquid water on an Earth-like world. This depicts possible conditions on one of the planets discovered around the star Tau Ceti. Tau Ceti lies around 11.7 light years from Earth, and is visible to the naked eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an otherworldly scene, transporting viewers to an alien landscape and planet beyond our wildest imagination. The artwork, titled C016 / 6351, presents a mesmerizing view from an extraterrestrial world, where a majestic gas giant looms at the top center of the image. These distant exoplanets have been discovered using various methods and range from colossal gas giants to rocky planets resembling our own Earth. In this particular depiction, sunlight filters through ethereal clouds located in the upper right corner while mist and ice cling to towering mountains below. These elements hint at the presence of liquid water on this Earth-like celestial body. The artist envisions these conditions as potential realities on one of the planets orbiting Tau Ceti, a star visible even without telescopic aid that lies approximately 11.7 light years away from us. The composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and mystery of space with its breathtaking combination of sunlit clouds, snow-capped peaks, and enigmatic moons scattered across the sky. This artwork not only sparks curiosity about what lies beyond our solar system but also serves as a reminder that life may exist in unimaginable forms throughout the vast universe. Detlev van Ravenswaay's illustration masterfully blends astrophysics with artistic vision to transport us into uncharted territories where possibilities are endless.
