Kepler 186f - Visions of the Future NASA galaxy cluster I immediately understood that that

I immediately understood that that landscape was perfect for a composition with the Milky Way

which surrounds the sun as a thin ring in the planetary plane

and then Adrien Maduit who was also involved with the whole project added his final touches to make it as good as it can get for this data (mainly final gradient and color corrections)

massive planets orbiting closer to their stars than Mercury

Kepler 186f - Visions of the Future NASA galaxy cluster I immediately understood that thatKepler 186f is the first Earth size planet discovered in the potentially 'habitable zone' around another star, where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. Its star is much cooler and redder than our Sun. If plant life does exist on a planet like Kepler 186f, its photosynthesis could have been influenced by the star's red wavelength photons, making for a color palette that's very different than the greens on Earth. This discovery was made
