The image shows an impression of the possible scene from a moon orbiting the extra-solar planet in orbit around the star HD70642. The planet has a mass about twice that of Jupiter and orbits the star in around six years, with a nearly circular orbit at more than three times the Earth-Sun distance. CREDIT: David A.
