At some point in the future, we'll need a second home in space. The search for a planet that could be an alternative to our Earth is going on, so what will it be? Imagine traveling around in your spaceship and coming across a giant eyeball just floating there in the darkness of space and staring at the central star of that solar system.

It's actually a planet – a little bit bizarre, but still very cool.
