In this sequence, the camera starts close to a Venus-like artist's concept of Gliese 12 b set against a starry background. As the camera pulls back and spins, the planet shrinks, the stars whirl, and the planet's host star eventually appears.

Description
English: In this sequence, the camera starts close to a Venus-like artist's concept of Gliese 12 b set against a starry background. As the camera pulls back and spins, the planet shrinks, the stars whirl, and the planet's host star eventually appears. The planet passes across the star's face, creating a transit. Passing through the planet's atmosphere, the host star's light is partly absorbed, encoding into it the chemical fingerprints of the atmosphere's component elements. Gliese 12 b is one of the best candidates for this type of study.Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (Caltech-IPAC)
