COSMIC MESSAGE

Astronomers have found evidence of worlds beyond our solar system, with solar-type stars harboring planets of approximately Jupiter's mass. Some of these planets are in temperature zones that could support liquid water. This image depicts a hypothetical scene near one such planet, orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris, a star similar to our own, which appears faint in our sky.
