Vacation Destinations

Even the closest exoplanets are too far away to visit. But…

…what if they weren’t?

We worked with NASA scientists, futurists, and artists to imagine exoplanet tourism. From the more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets, our experts have selected eight dream destinations for discerning travelers. Choose your adventure with guided tours, in English and Spanish. Read along, or turn your sound up as you scroll through.

Earth’s closest known exoplanet neighbor is this rocky world in a three-star system

Help us celebrate at the Exoplanet Travel Bureau, where we’re marking the 10th anniversary of its debut, and honoring three decades of exoplanet discoveries — since the first confirmation of a planet orbiting a Sun-like star, 51 Pegasi b. So join us — we’ve booked passage to a brand-new destination. This party planet is another exotic world, but closer to home than any other.

A vintage looking travel poster shows a human figure from behind, standing beneath two big and bright suns. The smaller one of the pair is bright orange and the larger one is yellowish white. The person is casting two shadows because of the two stars. The person is looking toward rock formations that look like those found in the Southwest US. The poster is done in red, orange and white colors and says, ‘’Relax on Kepler-16b, where your shadow always has company.’’

A travel poster for the exoplanet 55 Cancri e. This bright, colorful poster is done in pinks, purples and orange hues. Two people are seen floating in a giant bubble behind a craft zooming across an ocean of hot lava. The purplish sky is filled with thick clouds of darker purples and grays with sparkles shining throughout. A planet appears in the sky like a crescent moon. The poster says, ‘’Lava life: Skies sparkle above a neverending ocean of lava.’

A travel poster for the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e. A woman and children are gathered around a train window looking out excitedly. Through the window you can see six large exoplanets in the sky like giant moons. The inside of the train car is dark to better show the view outside, where everything is bathed in the red light from its red dwarf star. The sky is also filled with stars including the three-star line of Orion and the Leo constellation, which contains our yellow sun as a star. The poster says, ‘’Planet hop to TRAPPIST-1e, voted number1 habitable zone vacation spot.’’

A travel poster for the exoplanet HD 40307g shows a skydiver high above a blue planet. It says, ‘’Experience the gravity of a super earth.’’ The poster is done in greens, blues and yellows. The blue sky is peeking out behind jagged gradients of yellow. The skydiver is wearing a futuristic suit with a parachute on their back. There are gradients of yellow colors surrounding the giant planet with streaks of light streaming toward the planet.

A travel poster for the exoplanet PSO J318.5-22 shows a man and a woman in the foreground in futuristic party clothes and elegant space helmets. Behind them is a giant planet with advanced looking technology and hardware on spaceships floating nearby. A group of partygoers are behind the man and the woman and all are standing on an outside deck like the ones seen surrounding the background spaceships. All of the partygoers are in fancy dresses, tuxedos and slim space helmets. The text on the poster says, ‘’Visit the planet with no star. PSO PSO J318.5-22, where the nightlife never ends.’’
