“HD70642: A Star with Similar Planets” is copyrighted by David A. Hardy, PPARC. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAstronomers have found a star, HD70642, with a planetary system more like our own than any previously known. This bright star in Puppis is similar to our Sun. A planet twice Jupiter's mass orbits it in a nearly circular path, about half Jupiter's orbital distance. This arrangement leaves room for smaller, potentially habitable planets closer to the star.
