Planet with Iron Rainfall is Even More Extreme than Scientists Thought
Headline Image Caption: This illustration shows a night-side view of the exoplanet WASP-76b. The ultra-hot giant exoplanet has a day side where temperatures climb above 2400 degrees Celsius, high enough to vaporise metals. Strong winds carry iron vapour to the cooler night side where it condenses into iron droplets. To the left of the image, we see the evening border … Continue reading
UNLV Astronomers May Have Discovered First Planet to Orbit 3 Stars
Headline Image: An image of GW Orionis, a triple star system with a mysterious gap in its surrounding dust rings. UNLV astronomers hypothesize the presence of a massive planet in the gap, which would be the first planet ever discovered to orbit three stars.
