Hi,

I would like to share with you guys a couple of interesting simulations.

This simulation belongs to an Earth-like planet located 4 light-years away, imaged with the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), expected in 2025.



This other simulation belongs to an Earth-like planet located 40 light-years away, imaged with the Large Ultraviolet Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), expected in 2035:

What is the first exoplanet would like to see an image of?

Finally we can get good images of alien worlds and get good renders based on prior imagery rather than just make up random designs based purely on speculation without a source.

This might mean we could even get good renders of Planet Nine/Persephone/Telisto without sending a probe there!
