As Cabbink said, 581f was proven to be an artifact of stellar activity - which sucks. Zarmina remained rather dubious because the HARPS team could not find the planet after removing stellar noise. However, the Lick-Carnegie team still has a good amount of evidence for its existence. A study that came out a few years later officially killed 581f and seemed to prove Zarmina's existence. But of course something had to go wrong, and literally just ONE year later a rather pessimistic study claimed that both Zarmina and 581d were false positives. As you may guess that caused quite a ruckus. Finally, in 2014, a much better study came out and said that both Zarmina and 581d could exist - it depended on the eccentricity of the latter. The whole Gliese 581 controversy is one of the sorest topics in the exoplaneteer community. It didn't help that the discovery of the system broke up Geoff Marcy's famed group of scientists, and that a year after the 2014 study Marcy was found guilty of...immoral acts...and was forced to resign from Berkeley University. Long story short: Gliese 581 is a huge mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm an I-don't-even-know-what-the-heck I am even drawing expert. I drew Varuna... I drew all those Kuiper belt thingys. I it is clearly possible to draw something. Just think of it as a reddish blob thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ProtoJeb21 3,802 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I would be posting more drawings, but right now I have something going on for the next several days. Expect only a few images this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we need some time to return to solar system, I am going to add a small list of things we can do. I enjoyed exploring exoplanets with you! I honestly, didn't know a think about them, thank you. In reward, I am going to add some bio on you, because I know that greatest feeling when someone is telling good things about you in the public, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cabbink 421 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Here is COROT 7-B, One of the Hottest Terrestrial Planets. It is though to have lava oceans. http://i.imgur.com/JLs9uiG.png Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cratercracker 3,844 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Okay my hypetrain conduction team! Here is da list of things you can do: Psycho (full metal asteroid) 174p Eheclus (weird comet) Daphis or Atlas (Saturnian moon) Earth's quasi satellite. (I forgot it's name, sorry) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Cruithne seems to be the most well-known quasi-satellite of Earth, considering it has a name where the others have only a designation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cabbink 421 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Here's a Early Redition of Cruthine or whatever the name of it is. I have not added the moon and earth yet. I Gave Cruthine a few gold deposits. Edited July 11, 2017 by Cabbink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cratercracker 3,844 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Another few things: Bee-Zed (retrograde orbit thing) Pallas (huuuge asteroid) Iokaste (Jupiter's outer retrograde moon) Planet 9 (I know it probably doesn't exist, but whatever, I would like if it was a gas giant, thinking of it as a very big ball of ice, would be realistic, but disappointing) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
