Relax on Kepler-16b - Where Your Shadow Always Has Company - NASA JPL Space Travel Poster
Par Space Travel
The Visions of the Future posters, from the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, promote travel to planets and moons. The poster depicts an astronaut emerging from a valley on pla
net Kepler-16b, standing and enjoying a double sunset view, with two shadows behind him.
"Like Luke Skywalker's planet "Tatooine" in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that the movie's iconic double-sunset is anything but science fiction."
