Whatever you do, do not let the multinational corporations learn the location of this planet. Great work

Very interesting interpretation and beautiful done photo !!

Oh, WAY cool!!

Great idea.

cool texture

Great texturing and picture. We don't need a spaceship to get to see new planets, but just stay here

Cool macro rust.

Great pic, the planet looks very photorealistic. But in looking at aqua1955s comment. First off, we have yet to actually see an extra-solar planet as anything more than a few pixels. These news story's that show huge Earthlike or other type worlds are showing artist concepts done in 3D like the one shown by phfrancke. Scientists tell reporters that they found a planet in the goldilocks zone that could be earthlike...not that it is definitely earthlike. But the reporters run a story that leans heavily in favor of a life bearing world, get a graphics artist to do up an earthlike world to make the story more sensational. This science is in it's infancy and we probably won't have real images of worlds shown in the detail you see for another quarter to half century using Earth or space based telescopes. Consider we had to advance to developing rovers to see Mars really up close and personal.

I love what they are doing with the solar system exploration taking place! Very cool stuff. With 3d printing in space, I predict that in 500 years mankind WILL be living there. To heck with the SF transforming/terraforming of planets (though we have to fix ours first), Rather we will be able to make endless apartments in space and the expensive ones will be the ones with the best view (unblocked).

Very cool image!!!
