COSMIC MESSAGE
The star 70 Virginis has a planet, the second known case of a planet orbiting a normal star other than our Sun. The first was 51 Pegasi, announced last year. 70 Vir, shown in the center of this false-color image, is very similar to our Sun. The planet itself, 70 Vir b, is not visible. It was discovered by very slight periodic shifts in the star's light, indicating the planet's gravitational pull.
