Extension summary

Go exoplanet hunting and discover a confirmed planet in our universe drawn from the NASA database. Each planet is visualized hypothetically and animated - no new tab planet will look like the other. Read through the key facts of the planet: What's its size compared to earth? What's the temperature there? How long does the planet take to orbit its star? And how many stars exist in its planetary system?

Travel multiple light years with every new tab and maybe you will find the future home of mankind.
