Astronomers Discover Scaled-Down Jupiter and Saturn in a Faraway Solar System Like Our Own (3 of 3) (IMAGE)
Caption
This artist's rendering of a distant solar system shows the location of two newly discovered planets -- one resembling Jupiter (middle right) and one resembling Saturn (bottom). The question mark indicates where an inner system of planets would be located -- if the solar system contained terrestrial planets similar to Earth. Ohio State University astronomers led an international collaboration that published the discovery in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science.
