Kepler-11
scienceisbeauty: This is the first-ever map of the surface of an exoplanet, or a planet beyond our solar system. The map, which shows temperature variations across the cloudy tops of a gas giant called HD 189733b, is made from infrared data taken by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. Hotter temperatures are represented in brighter colors. Source: First Map of an Exoplanet Atmosphere, Spitzer Space Telescope
