HD 188753: Triple Sunset
This artist's concept shows a sunset on a planet in a triple-star system, HD 188753. The system, 149 light-years away in Cygnus, contains a hot, Jupiter-sized planet. Astronomer Maciej Konacki discovered this planet using spectroscopic data from the Keck Observatory. The large planet is depicted at the upper left in this imagined view.
