Life zones around three stars, artwork
Life zones around three stars, artwork. The star types are, from top: hotter stars, sunlike stars, and cooler stars. The colours show the habitable zones (green), the zones that are too hot (red) and the zones that are too cold (blue). Earth, Venus and Mars are show orbiting the sunlike star in the middle diagram. In 2009, NASA launched its Kepler Mission to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. The mission is named in honour of German astronomer Johannes Kepler

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Life zones around three stars" depicts a mesmerizing glimpse into the vastness of our universe. The print showcases three different types of stars, each with its own unique set of life zones. From top to bottom, we witness hotter stars, sunlike stars (with Earth, Venus, and Mars orbiting), and cooler stars. The vibrant colors beautifully illustrate the habitable zones in green, where conditions are just right for life to thrive. In contrast, the red areas represent zones that are too hot for any form of life while the blue regions indicate frigid temperatures unsuitable for habitation. Notably, this artwork pays homage to Johannes Kepler by being named after him as NASA launched its Kepler Mission in 2009. This mission aimed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars beyond our solar system using the powerful Kepler Space Telescope. As we delve into this visually stunning piece, it sparks curiosity about what lies beyond our familiar celestial neighborhood. It reminds us that there is an ongoing hunt for exoplanets and potential signs of extraterrestrial life within these uncharted territories. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration in astrophysics and planetary science – forever pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of the cosmos.
