‘Other Worlds’ Visualises our latest discoveries of worlds that both resemble a form of heaven and hell. Looking out into the cosmos from our pale blue dot, we find a bountiful supply of other worlds orbiting stars of various sizes and some which do not have a star to call home at all. Most we find is completely hostile to any form of life as we know it. Extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme radiation, deathly orbits, rainfalls of molten rock, the list goes on. The possibility of extremophiles is there, however, from our research into the microscopic world on our own planet. 

 

Most of these planets of endless kinds raise more questions than answers about what we know of plant formation, environments and what's possible during the formation of a new solar system. Looking out at all these possibilities makes it more fortunate that we have a stable star and solar system to call home. Although at one point in time during its early years, our solar system was just as chaotic as some we observe. Occasionally, however, we stumble across one planet with striking similarities to our own pale blue dot. Are we being studied now by some distant civilisation on these earth-like planets in their own pursuits to observe Other Worlds?
