The pioneering space experiences will be the ultimate voyage to encounter new planets around distant stars. Theirs will be the journey into the extraordinary. On distant planets are incandescent storms big enough to swallow the earth. Bolts of lightning thousands of miles long. Raging infernos of toxic gas. Inconceivable violence and terrifying extremes. These are the planets from hell.

Kepler-20 System Overview [HD]
NASA's Kepler mission has discovered the first Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system. The planets, called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, but they are the smallest exoplanets ever confirmed around a star like our sun.
