This means the side facing the star is scorching hot while the dark side is constantly frozen. Nevertheless, scientists speculate that a portion of Gliese 581C is habitable – in fact, this planet is believed to be the best candidate for human expansion. Living on this surface would be like hell, due to the fact that a red dwarf star bombards the planet with infrared light, so the plants would have to adapt to the flood of infrared light by turning black. Osiris About 30% larger than Jupiter with an orbit that’s one-eighth the distance of Mercury from the Sun, the temperature of Osrirs is around 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat and pressure exerted on this gas planet has resulted in a significant evaporation of various atmospheric gases, which stream out from the planet’s atmosphere like air from an invisible balloon. Osiris stunned astronomers and astrophysics experts when hydrogen, oxygen and carbon were detected rushing away from the planet, leading to a new type of planet classification, referred to as chthonian. HAT-P-1 A recent discovery by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, HAT-P-1 is a gas giant half the size of Jupiter that weighs roughly the same as a ball of cork. This incredibly odd planet has caused an uproar in the halls of academic astronomy because it’s classified as a “hot Jupiter” planet that’s nearly 25% larger than models estimate. In the distant future, perhaps humanity will be capable of transporting a swimming pool half the size of Jupiter 450 light years in order to test how well the planet floats in water. J1407 b Discovered in 2012, planet J1407 b is located 400 light years from Earth and boasts a system of planetary rings that are 200 times bigger than the ones orbiting Saturn. The Saturnian ring system of J1407 b is so large that if Saturn had a ring system of similar size, it would dominate the Earth’s sky and appear much larger than the full moon. Scientists have observed gaps in the ring systems. They believe that these represent orbitng exomoons. The ring system is so large that astronomers observed a 56-day eclipse of the star that J1407 b orbits. Gliese 436 b Gliese 436 b is roughly the size of Neptune. It’s about 20 times larger than the Earth, but orbits only 4.3 million miles from its star – compared to the Earth, which orbits roughly 93 million miles from the Sun. The resulting temperature on Gliese 436 b is a consistent 822 degrees Fahrenheit. The ice that exists on the planet is kept together by immense gravitational forces. These forces prevent water molecules from evaporating and escaping the planet, instead becoming tightly packed deep within. So the ice is actually burning all the time! Mind bending!
