Explanation:
If you could stand on exoplanet LHS 475 b, what might you see?
No one knows for sure but pictured here is an
interesting guess made by an Earth-based
artificial intelligence (AI) engine.
The existence of the
exoplanet was indicated in data taken by the Earth-orbiting
TESS satellite but
confirmed and further investigated only this year by the
near-Earth Sun-orbiting
James Webb Space Telescope.
What is known for sure is that
LHS 475
b
has a mass very similar to
our Earth and closely orbits a
small red star about 40 light
years away.
The featured
AI-illustrated guess depicts a plausibly
rugged Earth-like landscape replete with
molten lava and with the central red star rising in the
distance.
Webb data does not as yet reveal, however, whether
LHS 475 b has an atmosphere.
One of
WebbБs science
objectives
is to follow up previous discoveries of distant
exoplanets to better discern their potential for
developing life.
