Alien planetary system. Computer artwork of a view across the surface of a hypothetical moon in orbit around the planet HD 18853 Ab (upper left), with three suns (bright, centre right) in the distance. HD 18853 Ab is the first known planet to reside in a tight-knit triple-star system. It is a gas giant planet that orbits around a single star that is orbited by a nearby pair of pirouetting stars. This stellar family is called HD188753 and lies around 149 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.
