When looking at planets I didn't wanna look into our Solar System.
I searched for something that is uncommon. Just to make it that bit more interesting, and a little more believable maybe?
Here's what I thought were the most interesting facts and planets etc c:
During my research I came across the habitable zone. It's simply a region around a star with conditions good enough to support life, within this space an Earth- like planet can possess liquid on it's surface.

PSR B1620-26 b
The Methuselah.
(discovered: May30, 1993, confirmed: July 10, 2003)
It's been given a nickname: Methuselah for biblical reasons.
Methuselah is assumed to be the oldest man to ever live. It is believed that he died at the age of 969.
It has not been named this by accident, The Methuselah is the oldest planet found to date.
12.7 Billion years old.
It was found deep inside of a globular cluster of stars formed from the very first stars formed after the Big Bang.
It's at least as big as Jupiter, most likely even bigger, and almost surely gaseous.
The initial eons were spent around Sun- like star, it's possible it had an Earth-like neighbour.
"If there were gas giants around at 12.7 billion years ago, I would think that there could be a few terrestrial- like planets too" Said Alan Boss.
Life might have had a chance.
Gliese 581 d
Something truly amazing this. It's a planet 7-14 times the mass of Earth. Considered to be a Super-Earth. It has not yet been confirmed if it's a terrestrial planet. But it being in he habitable zone and considering the outcome of the climate simulations it is possible that there is some intelligent life out there, that has developed similarly to us.
And many others like:
Kepler 10 b
The first confirmed terrestrial planet to be discovered outside of our Solar System. Rocky suuuuuurface. I think it could be a really good look actually. I imagine really sharp rocks, mountains dark space. Just, awesome.
"The planet is so warm that astronomers believe it is absorbing almost all of the heat from it's star, and reflecting very little to no light," says NASA.
So these are my favourites c:
But now I have a problem of, I don't know what look to go for.
Snow and Ice.
Rock and oh more rock.
Dark, or on fire.
The Kepler 10 b for example, I think it'd look amazing really dark and sharp, but then again it's a really hot planet. So I think I'd want to show that. But I suppose I'll just wait and see how it goes. Make my mind up
