PIX4573686: Artist's view of the exoplanet Gliese 581c. - Artist's view of the exoplanet Gliese 581c. Gliese 581c, with a radius of 1.5 times that of the Earth, is the first exoplanet gathering the necessary elements to imagine the existence of a possible extra-terrestrial life. With a mass of 5 times that of the Earth, an average temperature between 0 and 40* C, this exoplanet rotates around its star in just thirteen days and is located 14 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun. But this star, Gliese 581, is a red dwarf, a star much smaller and less luminous than the Sun, so the position of this exoplanet is ideal for allowing the presence of water in liquid form on its surface, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4572673: Vue d'artiste d'une cepheide - Cepheid - artist view - Vue d'artiste d'une cepheide. Cepheides are very bright variable stars that serve as cosmic beacons to measure the distance of nearby galaxies. Their pulse period is measured and their absolute luminosite is calculated. By comparing the result to their apparent luminosite in the sky, they can be calculated accurately. A Cepheid variable star pulses in a regular period that is directly related to its intrinsic brightness, allowing astronomers to use such stars as “” standard candles”” to measure distances to other galaxies, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4571570: In the cloud of Oort - Illustration - Inside the Oort cloud - Illustration - The cloud of Oort is a vast body envelope located well beyond the orbit of the planets of the solar system. Comets would come from that cloud. The Oort Cloud is a huge spherical cloud surrounding our Solar System. Extending about 30 trillion kilometers (18 trillion miles) from the Sun, it was first proposed in 1950 by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort. The vast distance of the Oort cloud is considered to be the outer edge of the Solar System where the Sun's influence ends. It contains billions of icy bodies and seems to be the birth place of comets, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
