An icy / rocky planet orbiting a dim star

This artists illustration shows an icy/rocky planet orbiting a dim star. Astronomers detected an extrasolar planet five times as massive as Earth circling a red dwarf, a relatively cool star. The distance between the planet, designated OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, and its host is about three times greater than that between the Earth and the Sun. The planets large orbit and its dim parent star make its likely surface temperature a frigid minus 364 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 degrees Celsius)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking artist's illustration captures the mesmerizing sight of an icy/rocky planet gracefully orbiting a dim star in the vastness of space. Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery, detecting an extrasolar planet that dwarfs our own Earth by five times in mass. This celestial body, known as OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, revolves around a red dwarf - a relatively cool star. The distance between this enigmatic planet and its host is three times greater than that separating our home from the Sun. Such a colossal orbit combined with the feeble radiance emitted by its parent star results in surface temperatures plunging to unimaginable depths: a bone-chilling minus 364 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 degrees Celsius). In this vividly colored image, we witness the sheer beauty and complexity of our universe. The spherical world glows brilliantly against the backdrop of infinite darkness while being bathed in ethereal light from distant stars. It serves as a reminder of how small we are in comparison to the grandeur and mysteries that lie beyond our own solar system. This digitally generated masterpiece invites us to contemplate the wonders awaiting exploration beyond our cosmic neighborhood. It ignites curiosity about planetary systems and fuels astrophysical inquiries into these distant realms where ice meets rock amidst frigid conditions. Let this awe-inspiring visual spectacle transport you on an imaginary journey through space, where possibilities are endless and discoveries await at every turn.
