Exoplanet Kepler-62f

This artist's concept depicts in the foreground planet Kepler-62f, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of its star which is seen peeking out from behind the right edge of the planet. The small shining object farther to the right is Kepler-62e which orbits on the inner edge of the habitable zone of the star. If someday in the distant future we landed on the right spot on Kepler-62f, just before "sunrise" we'd be treated to a lovely view of Kepler-62e as a "morning star" much like Venus often appears for us on Earth.
