![]() Blue, yellow, green and purple, shine and glow inside the rose gold Astronomia Solar case. The aventurine base acts as a starry backdrop for the scientific rotation of planets. This illustration shows a hot-Jupiter-class planet orbiting its yellow-orange star, HD 189733. The aventurine base acts as a starry backdrop for the scientific rotation of planets. ![]() The latest Hubble observation confirms the evidence. Astronomia Solar is a wrist-sized representation of our solar system. Earlier observations have reported evidence for scattering of blue light on the planet. Astronomia Solar is a wrist-sized representation of our solar system. RT Jacobandco: Bursts of light in the dark. To make the environment there even less like Earth's, it rains glass on this planet! And the glassy rain comes down in sideways torrents, blown by howling winds moving at 7000 km per hour! While the words ‘pale blue dot’ make us think of calm, tropical waters and light summer rain, this ‘deep blue dot’ is all sharp, raging storms and boiling heat. RT Jacobandco: Bursts of light in the dark. Its atmosphere is filled with something similar to glass particles, called ‘silicates’, which sparkle blue. Although no liquid water has been verified in our solar system, liquid oceans are thought to exist beneath the frozen crusts of Jupiters moon Europa and. Well, unlike Earth, it isn't water that gives this world its lush blue colour. You might wonder how blue oceans can survive in this extreme environment. Also referred to as the twin of Uranus because of its resemblance in terms of its bright blue colour, Neptune stands at a distance of 4.495 billion km from the Sun, has a surface area of 7.618 billion km and has an apparent magnitude is around 7.67 to 8.00. It orbits very close to its star, leading its atmosphere to reach scorching temperatures of over 1000☌. The new world, or the ‘deep blue dot’, is an enormous gas giant, similar in size to Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. You might recognise image 2, it is a photograph of the Earth that was taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 spacecraft when it was 6 billion km away! But now, for the first time ever, astronomers have uncovered the colour of a planet orbiting a distant star-and it's blue, too!īut that's where the similarities between the two planets end. When seen from space, our world looks like a pale blue dot. Earth is known as the ‘blue planet’ because of the vast oceans that cover two-thirds of its surface.
