Transit of exoplanet TIDYE-1b: the youngest planet ever observed
The illustration depicts the transit of exoplanet TIDYE-1b, the youngest planet ever recorded by astronomers. A banded planet with a faint bluish atmospheric rim passes across the hot orange disk of a young star, surrounded by a cosmic disk and distant stars. The image conveys the scale of the event in which TIDYE-1b is, on a relative scale, 'younger' than the Earth itself.
