In 1995, scientists discovered 51 Pegasi b, forever changing the way we see the universe and our place in it. The exoplanet is about half the mass of Jupiter, with a seemingly impossible, star-hugging orbit of only 4.2 Earth days. Not only was it the first planet confirmed to orbit a sun-like star, it also ushered in a whole new class of planets called Hot Jupiters: hot, massive planets orbiting closer to their stars than Mercury. Today, powerful observatories like NASA\u2019s Kepler space telescope will continue the hunt of distant planets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PSO J318.5-22 \u2013 Where the Nightlife Never Ends<\/strong><br \/>\nDiscovered in October 2013 using direct imaging, PSO J318.5-22 belongs to a special class of planets called rogue, or free-floating, planets. Wandering alone in the galaxy, they do not orbit a parent star. Not much is known about how these planets come to exist, but scientists theorize that they may be either failed stars or planets ejected from very young systems after an encounter with another planet. These rogue planets glow faintly from the heat of their formation. Once they cool down, they will be dancing in the dark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Experience the Gravity of a Super Earth<\/strong><br \/>\nTwice as big in volume as the Earth, HD 40307g straddles the line between \u201cSuper-Earth\u201d and \u201cmini-Neptune\u201d and scientists aren\u2019t sure if it has a rocky surface or one that\u2019s buried beneath thick layers of gas and ice. One thing is certain though: at eight time the Earth\u2019s mass, its gravitational pull is much, much stronger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relax on Kepler-16b \u2013 Where your shadow always has company<\/strong><br \/>\nLike Luke Skywalker\u2019s planet \u201cTatooine\u201d in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren\u2019t good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that the movie\u2019s iconic double-sunset is anything but science fiction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kepler-186 f \u2013 Where the Grass is Always Redder<\/strong><br \/>\nKepler-186f is the first Earth-size planet discovered in the potentially \u2018habitable zone\u2019 around another star, where liquid water could exist on the planet\u2019s surface. Its star is much cooler and redder than our Sun. If plant life does exist on a planet like Kepler-186f, its photosynthesis could have been influenced by the star\u2019s red-wavelength photons, making for a color palette that\u2019s very different than the greens on Earth. This discovery was made by Kepler, NASA\u2019s planet hunting telescope.<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE SONG<br \/>\nStyle: ExperiMental Music<br \/>\nChords: Open D tuning guitar \/ D F# F E D keys<br \/>\nRecording: digital 1-track stereo recorded live<\/p>\n<p>Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards and Synthesizers (microKorg, Korg N364, Yamaha PSR-740, Casio WK-3500, miniNova, Boss Loop Station, Boss BR-600, DigiTech RP3)<\/p>\n<p>Part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/4D-Music\/\"><strong><em>4D Music Experiment<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby Daniel Brouse and Friends<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February of 2016, NASA published interplanetary travel posters to help foster imagination about exploration.
