Even if there were plant life on Kepler-186f, it wouldn’t likely be green: the red-wavelength photons emitted by the exoplanet’s sun probably mean the vegetation there would be a shade of crimson. At least, that’s what NASA thinks. Launched in 2009, the U.S. space agency’s Kepler telescope recently discovered its 1,000th exoplanet (a planet that orbits a star beyond our own solar system), including some that hold the potential of being habitable. It’s these that the visual strategists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have recently been casting in vintage-style travel posters—three so far, downloadable from the center’s website, with more to come—imagining their extraterrestrial landscapes as actual destinations. Call it the new golden age of travel. —Gabrielle Lipton
