Abstract
Astronomers have discovered more than 140 planets oribiting stars outside our solar system over the past 10 years. We know that some orbit so close to their parent star that they complete a “year” in three days. Others move along elongated orbits. Some are as small as Neptune, while others are as big as Saturn or Jupiter. But what do these planets actually look like? Infinite Worlds – a lush coffee-table book – gives some possible answers. Written by Ray Villers from the Space Telescope Science Institute in the US, it contains dramatic, full-colour illustrations of extrasolar planets by Lynette Cook, for-mer artist/photographer at the Morrison Planetarium in California.
