The Most Unusual Planets in the Universe

On the planet t-r-e-s-2b, the night never ends. This isn't your typical Knight, where stars shine in lovely skies; instead, it's utterly dark and sweltering. In the star system of 55 Cancri, there are five planets, four of which are gas giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn, but the fifth planet, or rather the first because it's closest to the star, is different in a horrifying way. High Tres 2B is a gas giant that is about 1.5 times more massive than Jupiter. Its surface absorbs light better than charcoal and it may also have a faint dark red glow due to its burning air, which is as hot as fresh lava. 55 Cancrie is very near its

The Twilight Zone is a narrow strip of dismal nothingness that lies between the scorching and the dark areas. The sun is located on one side of the planet, where half of its surface is a literal ocean of molten lava and the other is an eternal darkness because it never sees the sun. hd189377 B It appears to have beautiful blue and white swirls creating amazing patterns on its surface, but these pleasing colors are actually caused by hard silicate particles in the planet's atmosphere, meaning glass rains here. The worst part is that winds have reached 5400 miles per hour. Well, I won't say that again. This is the only exoplanet in its star's orbit.

at almost Mach 7 speed per hour. The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 254 miles per hour, which is over 20 times slower than the speed of falling glass, which causes everything in its path to be destroyed as it falls from the sky at hypersonic speeds. The next system, the name of which I will not even attempt to pronounce, has three exoplanets that are gradually being destroyed by their own star. This is because the star in question is not a regular star but rather a pulsar, the rapidly spinning core of an exploded star that rotates at several thousand times per second, producing powerful electromagnetic pulses that are directed in multiple directions and eventually causing the planets orbiting it to slowly fade away and eventually vanish completely. Kepler-70 is

Approximately 18 million years ago, a hot blue dwarf star erupted into a red giant. At that time, it was orbited by at least two planets, the closer of which was a gas giant that resembled Jupiter. This planet, known as Kepler-70b, is still alive today, but the overgrown star devoured it, turning it into a scorching Rocky world. It is currently one of the hottest planets ever discovered; its temperature is higher than the surface of our sun.

being primarily made of gas causes the star to slowly devour its protege, Wasp 12b, which has already begun to resemble an egg stretched toward its ruthless sun. Unable to take action, the planet will eventually succumb to the ravenous star's appetite in another 10 million years. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk on both hot coals and ice at the same time, Lesi 436b is a planet that would provide a vivid example because it is very close to its Sun. Despite having temperatures higher than a blazing oven, the Neptune-sized exoplanet is covered in ice that burns constantly.

much denser as a result of the planet's immense gravity, remaining solid despite harsh circumstances and refusing to melt away, Venus, Earth's evil twin, must be included on any list of terrifying worlds. the second planet from the sun has an atmosphere
