Description
update 2: made the resolution much higher! 10,000px X 6,000px, my biggest image yet!
update: added a contrast layer to the image and now it looks so much better!
here, i've made the exoplanet kepler-22b in my depiction of it!
now for its stats:
-they say it is a super earth, ocean world, 2.5 times the size of earth with 2.5 earth gravity.
-it is located in the kepler-22 system, and orbits just on the inside of the stars habital zone, with an eccentric orbit.
so its a moderately hot world, and i've given it an average temperature of 80Β°C.
now the water won't really boil because of the planets high gravity and dense atmosphere pushing down on the water, but there will be very violent storms and dense clouds, as well as heavy thunder showers. and the heat will generate furoscious winds which i estimate at around 400kmh.
-i estimate chances of life on this world to be around 5-10%.
-because of the planets large gravity, it should have at least 1 or 2 large moons, with a few smaller ones. so i've given the planet two hypothetical moons. the one in the distance is about a little more than 1.5 times the size of our moon. the one in the foreground is about 1/2 the size of of our moon. the moons should also have water, but it may most likely be in the form of clouds in their atmospheres, with a very small chance of there being liquid water on their surface.
this is the very first exoplanet i've ever made, and i assure you that there will be more to come!

It is an ocean world, just like GJ 1214b, only in the habitable zone.

Maybe but highly unlikely due to its size.

Rainstar-of-LakeClan In reply to Alpha-Element [2015-10-15 17:23:46 +0000 UTC]
But it can support ocean life, like sea otters. I think it has oxygen in its atmosphere.

We really need to engineer a way to open worm holes in space if Β human are ever going to have a chance at ever colonizing other planets. A faster than light space craft is not going to cut it.

if humanity ever colonize this planet,i suggest they name the colony "neokepler",because it's a really cool name,that's why.

This is a nice depiction of 22! better the the one NASA came out with. Isn't it just something to think that with all our concepts of these exoplanets, just what they really look like, even right now, as they drift in their orbit around their host star?
Again, very nice piece.

i'm currently making some tutorials. however, i may not be getting into the details of planet creation any time soon though.

thanks!
it may be a planet covered in a huge deep ocean of water, but due to its size, it may also be a mini neptune and so may not be a life supporting world.

Well life always found its ways. I heard the moon have a gravity-based tectonic system from Jupiter and that warm up the ice/oceans.

Awesome. If they found 1 or 2 planets like this within the Kepler spacecraft's field of vision alone, imagine how many there are in our galaxy!

thanks, glad you like it!
and your right, kepler can only see the planet's that transit their stars as seen from our system. so if kepler found like 30 transiting habitable planet candidates within a narrow field of view stretching maybe 3000 light years, theres no telling just how many habitable worlds there are out there in our galaxy alone!

BudCharles In reply to Alpha-Element [2012-12-20 00:17:43 +0000 UTC]

At least 1000!

BudCharles In reply to Alpha-Element [2012-12-21 02:16:27 +0000 UTC]
Well Kepler is looking at about 145,000 stars.
It has found about 30 candidates for planets that may support life.
There are about 200,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy.
The following I'll use a calculator for:
200,000,000,000 divided by 145,000 equals 1,379,310.34483.
1,379,310.34483 multiplied by 30 equals 41,379,310.3448.
So we're both way off but you're closer.
There should be over 41 million habitable planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone.

Alpha-Element In reply to BudCharles [2012-12-22 23:54:14 +0000 UTC]
actually, there should be even more than that! remember, you only used the number of habitable planet candidates that transit as seen from earth, and not the total number kepler is gazing at could be much much higher! so there could be at least 1 billion in our galaxy alone!
π: 0 β©: 1
BudCharles In reply to Alpha-Element [2012-12-23 01:20:53 +0000 UTC]
So for every 200 stars there is a habitable planet. That means that there would almost certainly be life in more than one place.
