Eyes on Exoplanets
Journey to planets far beyond our solar system to explore planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
NASA Travel Hub
Take a trip outside of our solar system and explore the galaxy. These Exoplanet travel posters and coloring pages are out of this world.
Planetary Formation
Planets are formed around a new star by condensing in a disc of molecular gas and dust, embedded within a larger molecular cloud. Condensation increases until they become giant planets, which are heated, then cleanse their orbits in the disc and possibly bend it. Remaining gas in the disc finally disappears, leaving planets, a disc of dust and debris.
Planetary Nebula...The Birthplace of Stars
Low-mass stars turn into planetary nebulae towards the end of their red giant phase. At that point the star becomes highly unstable and starts to pulsate. The outer layers are ejected by the resulting stellar winds. Planetary nebula are relatively short-lived, and last just a few tens of thousands of years.
