Alien Planet Kepler-186f, ‘Earth’s Cousin’

In 2014, a newly discovered planet nicknamed “Earth’s cousin” was found 490 light-years from Earth.

The planet, called Kepler-186f, is the first Earth-size planet found in the habitable zone of its star.

About ten percent larger than Earth, Kepler-186f is the closest planet to Earth in size ever found in the habitable zone of its star.

Kepler-186f is the first Earth-size alien planet found in the habitable zone of its star. That means the planet, which is only slightly larger than Earth, is in the part of its star system where liquid water could exist on its surface.

I created the photo and another that I will soon be adding to my Alien and UFO Archives collection on OpenSea, on a new-to-me artificial intelligence art website, starry AI, which I learned of last week while perusing the artificial intelligence thread on Reddit and saw some amazing artwork created with it.

Like Night Cafe, which I goof around with from time to time, starry AI grants you five free credits every day, so I have been using mine to evolve the above image.
