Wallpaper Description:
This space image is an artist's view showing the planet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. This exoplanet is the first to have its rotation rate measured. Its eight-hour day corresponds to an equatorial rotation speed of 100,000 kilometres/hour--much faster than any planet in the Solar System.
