Osiris is an
extrasolar planet that orbits the Sun-like
star
HD 209458 in the constellation
Pegasus, some 150
light years from Earth's solar system. HD209458 is a
7th magnitude star, visible on Earth with binoculars. The radius of its orbit is only 7 million kilometers, resulting in a year only 3.5 Earth days long and an estimated surface temperature of about 1000°C.Photo credit:
