Alien planet HD 189733b and stellar flare
Alien planet HD 189733b and stellar flare. Artwork of the exoplanet HD 189733b seen from its moon during a stellar flare. This Jupiter-sized planet is around 63 light years away in the constellation Vulpecula. This powerful eruption blasted material from the planets atmosphere at a rate of at least 1000 tons per second. NASAs Hubble Space Telescope detected the escaping gases and NASAs Swift satellite observed the stellar flare. The results of the observations were announced on 28 June 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Alien planet HD 189733b and stellar flare" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to an extraterrestrial world. The image showcases the exoplanet HD 189733b, located an astonishing 63 light years away in the constellation Vulpecula. As we gaze upon this rocky moon's perspective during a stellar flare, we are transported into a scene of both beauty and power. The sheer magnitude of this eruption is awe-inspiring; it expelled gases from the planet's atmosphere at an astounding rate of over 1000 tons per second. Thanks to NASAs Hubble Space Telescope and Swift satellite, these escaping gases were detected and observed with great precision. This groundbreaking research was announced on June 28th, 2012. In this illustration, we witness the gas giant HD 189733b engulfed by vibrant hues as it interacts with its active star during the powerful flare. The intensity of colors reflects the high energy involved in such astronomical phenomena. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artistic interpretation allows us to marvel at the wonders of our universe while reminding us that there is still so much left to discover beyond our own solar system. This image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in astrophysics and planetary science throughout the twenty-first century.
