This artist’s impression video shows a hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting close to a star in the rich old star cluster Messier 67, in the constellation of Cancer (The Crab). Astronomers have found far more such planets in the cluster than expected. Credit: ESO/L.Calçada/M.Kornmesser. Music: Johan B. Monell
