Inner planets orbiting close to the sun are losing their atmosphere’s at a rapid rate generating a large gas cloud in this system. The gas is thick enough to glow from the illumination of the sun, shrouding the star from the view of the outer planets.
It is likely that other solar systems with hot gas and ice giants have an appearance similar when viewed from orbiting distant planets. The small cloud visible to the left is the Small Magellanic Cloud Galaxy.
