Home Molten exoplanet CoRoT-7b is a good analog for the Star Wars sizzling lava planet Mustafar. While you won’t see any lightsaber duels on CoRoT-7b, the planet’s temperature of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (1,982 Celsius) isn’t far off from the fictional magma mining station. (ESO/L.

The glittering city lights of Coruscant, the Star Wars core world, might have evolved on an older, near Earth-size planet like Kepler-452b. This real-life Earth cousin exists in a system 1.5 billion years older than Earth, giving any theoretical life plenty of time to develop an advanced technological civilization.

Fictional Hoth is a frozen tundra that briefly serves as a base for the hidden Rebel Alliance. It’s also the nickname of real exoplanet OGLE-2005-BLG-390, a cold super-Earth whose surface temperature clocks in at minus 364 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 Celsius). (NASA, ESA and G. Bacon (STScI))
