An artist's rendering of the system of planets orbiting HD 10180. One of the super-new Earths HD 10180j is seen in the background on the left side of the image), while the Neptune-like planet HD 10180e is in the background on the right side of the image - with its blue cloudy atmosphere. The central star and the other seven planets known since 2010 are in the distance, including the second super-Earth - HD 10180i, the third farthest from the Sun. Image: University of Hertfordshire.
