(6 years ago)When it rains a lot on Earth, English-speaking people say it's falling apart. But in exoplanet W ASP-76b, cats and dogs are not even close to its metal rains. We can say that this planet fills with rainfall at night, but instead of rain it falls iron,” said David Ehrenreich, professor at the University of Geneva in [...]
We can say that this planet fills with rainfall at night, but instead of rain, iron falls,” said David Ehrenreich, professor at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, writes Salon, Perscope.
Ehrenrich led a study, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, for this planet, which is estimated to be about 390 light years away in the Piscis conspiracy.
This strange event occurs because one side of the planet constantly faces a star that it has created, thus keeping one side of the planet in permanent enlightenment. The other side of the planet experiences everlasting night.
According to research, W The ASP-76b gets thousands of times more radiation than Earth on its bright side. The extreme heat on the side of the star he has created makes metals like iron to evaporate into the atmosphere; the radiation heat then causes these molecules to divide into atoms. /Periscope
