Caption: Extrasolar planet in the Virgo Cluster. Artwork of a hypothetical planet surface. In the sky is its parent star (centre). The star has been ejected from its galaxy and inhabits space as a lone star. In the background can be seen the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. This is a group of around 2000 galaxies that lie around 60-70 million light years from our own galaxy. The large galaxy on the right is M88.
