Infographic on the Nu2 Lupi planetary system
Illustration of the possible structure of the three planets orbiting the Sun-like star Nu2 Lupi. All the planets have an iron core and a rocky mantle, but planets c and d have a higher water content and an atmosphere consisting of a mixture of hydrogen and helium. Planet d orbits in a zone that, in our solar system, would lie between Mercury and Venus, and therefore receives only moderate radiation from the central star.
