Take a look to the mystic Iota Draconis system, more than 100 LY away from Earth.

Iota Draconis and his planet in the version 1.1 of MPL3D Solar System.

This is a track from Vangelis's 1988 album, "Direct" - and one of my personal favorites from the artist. The video consists of several images of extrasolar planets. Most of them are taken from Wikimedia Commons, except for the image of COROT-7b, which I found on Google. At least two of the extrasolar planets in the images are fictional. Oh yeah, just for the record, the planet that appears at 5:31 is supposed to be Z'Ha'Dum, from "Babylon 5." (That is, Z'Ha'Dum prior to its destruction as a result of that supernova.)
