Artist impression of Gaia-4b and Gaia-5b (IMAGE)
Caption
This is an artist impression of the exoplanet Gaia-4b and the brown dwarf Gaia-5b, which were both discovered by ESA’s Gaia mission. This artist impression visualises a portion of the orbital motions as determined by Gaia’s astrometric data. The stars and planets are not to scale.
[Image description: This image shows two red-orange stars in front of a dark starry sky. The stars have black spots on their surfaces, and red flares around them. Two small round objects are portrayed in orange-yellow, which travel around the stars. The objects have a few stripes on their surfaces. Coming from the object’s backside are half elliptical red beams, making it seem like the objects are in motion around their stars.]
