Kepler-20e, artwork C013 / 9946
Kepler-20e. Computer artwork of the extrasolar planet Kepler-20e orbiting its class G8 star Kepler-20 (left), around 950 light years from Earth. This planet is part of a system that contains four other planets all circling within a distance roughly equal to Mercurys orbit in our solar system. Kepler-20e is second closest to the star after Kepler-20b, and is the first planet with a smaller radius than Earth found orbiting a Sun-like star

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Kepler-20e" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to the far reaches of our universe. The image showcases the extrasolar planet Kepler-20e as it gracefully orbits its class G8 star, Kepler-20. Located approximately 950 light years away from Earth, this distant celestial body is part of a remarkable system that boasts four other planets. What makes Kepler-20e truly extraordinary is its unique position in relation to its star and size compared to Earth. As the second closest planet to Kepler-20 after Kepler-20b, it holds the distinction of being the first exoplanet with a smaller radius than our own precious blue planet found orbiting a Sun-like star. The artist's rendering beautifully captures the essence of this alien world, with vibrant colors and intricate details bringing it to life. Its proximity to its scorching hot star creates an environment that challenges our understanding of planetary science. Through this awe-inspiring illustration, we are reminded once again of how vast and diverse our universe truly is. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own solar system. Credit must be given where credit is due – NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully crafted this visual masterpiece that transports us into uncharted territories and fuels our fascination with all things astronomical.
