3 beautiful but very dangerous planets
In our selection - dangerous planets that look amazing!
There are planets in space that look like they were made for humans. But the impression is deceptive. These planets can scare anyone!
Take a look at HD 189733b for example.
HD 189733b
Don't let yourself be fooled. Guess where the color comes from? In the atmosphere of this planet - particles of silicate. And it's raining glass here!
Can you imagine, slanting glass rain? And the wind here blows at a speed of 8 thousand km / h. Or seven times the speed of sound! You won't be able to hold an umbrella in this kind of weather.
Planet KELT-9 b is a dark little ball against a beautiful star. But don't be fooled! This is the hottest planet we've ever discovered.
The planet just looks like a cute little ball. In fact, this giant is almost three times the size of Jupiter.
KELT-9b
Clouds of titanium and iron are gathering on this planet and it is raining metal! Man has no place here. But for the "liquid terminator" from the movie Terminator 2, there would be expanse here. It would swell to an amazing size.
The temperature here rises to +4300 degrees! This is not much lower than the temperature on the surface of the Sun. For comparison, on our Mercury it is only +430.
Proxima Centauri b. When this planet was discovered, scientists hoped that it would be habitable. After all, the temperature there is such that the water is in a liquid state.
Proxima Centauri b
Scientists hoped that this planet could become a prime target for colonization outside the solar system. After all, its parent star - Proxima Centauri - is, by cosmic standards, not far from us.
With temperature and water here and, however, complete order. One minus - the level of X-ray radiation that the planet receives is 404 times higher than the earth. Such radiation will literally tear cells into ions.
