Weird PlanetsfuriousmarshmellowRank: #5496 ----ing-scienceBlocksBlocks prevnext Prev Next GJ 1214b Eat your heart out, Kevin Costner. Discovered in December 2009, this exoplanet was given the nickname "the waterworld." Why? Because the planet is made up almost entirely of water. That's right: This planet just one massive ocean. But before you go imagine taking your spaceship-submarine hybrid to the core, it should be said that the core is covered in a thick layer of ice called Ice VII (Revenge of Jack Frost). Unlike typical ice, which is formed from cold temperatures, this ice is formed from water being immensely compressed by massive pressure near the core. So, if the ice doesn't stop you, being crushed will.WASP-12b This poor exoplanet was discovered on April 2009 by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the planet was slowly being absorbed into its nearby parent star. That's right: A star is eating away at an entire exoplanet. ******* fatass.TrES-2b Discovered in 2011, this exoplanet has been declared as the darkest exoplanet ever found (no, I don't know what those red streaks are). Despite temperatures reaching up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (980 degrees Celsius), this planet reflects less than 1% of the light it comes in contact with, giving it a very dark, charcoal black color. I can just sense the incoming black people jokes.HD 189773b Doesn't this thing just look so beautiful? The deep blue color. The glass appearance. The shiny. Well, this is due to silicate particles particles within the atmosphere all about. However, the planet also has VERY high surface temperatures, which go to up to 2372 degrees Fahrenheit (1300 degrees Celsius). So, take silicon particles and take inferno-like temperatures, put them together, and what do you get? A continuous, 4000 mph, sideways rain of glass. ouchWASP-17b This big boy has 2 things going for it: 1. It is so far the largest exoplanet ever discovered, at a diameter 1.4x the size of Jupiter, despite having very low density, and 2. it rotates in the opposite direction of its star's rotation, rather than in the direction of its star's rotation. This is called retrograde rotation, and while that may not sound like much to you, sitting there, jerking off to futa, this was big enough to cause a hole in the theory of planetary formation.KIC 12557548 Similar to WASP-12b, this exoplanet is also being slowly tortured by its own star. However, instead of taking the more delicious route and absorbing the planet, it takes the more terrible route and disintegrates the planet as it travels by the star, dragging behind a gigantic, dusty tail. Man, **** stars.Sounds of Saturn Ever wonder Saturn sounds like? Well, go ask your local drug dealer to rev up his 1996 SC2. In all seriousness, this is what our very own Saturn sounds like through radio transmission detected by the Cassini spacecraft. Sweet dreams. prevnext +958 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Sub/Block Channels ----ing-science:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 2562
