Behold! The Planet That Rains Metals. by UBAHA(m): 11:11am On Jul 11, 2020
Crazy thought of metals pouring down as rain had eluded mankind imagination in recent times as funny memes, quotes and jokes were aimed at a thought of it, but the reality of it is reverse as a planet known as wasp - 76b has emerged to proof the existence of one of human wildest imagination.

According to research carried out by European astrologers, a planet which is described as an exotic inferno planet precipitates inform of irons falling down from the atmosphere. The origin of the planets mysterious name came from US - wasp telescope system that detected the planet 4 years ago.

The environment of the exotic inferno planet was described as a bizarre one according to Dr David Ehrenreich from the University of Geneva who was giving the thrills of the discovery in a detailed format when he was addressing the media.

The planet is considered to be a monster gas planet with it's width two times large than that of Jupiter. The exotic inferno planet is said to be in a commanding 640 light years from the earth and also, one intriguing feature about the planet is about it present same faced to the star, a behavior which is called "Tidally locked" by scientist, Implying that the permanent day side of the planet is roasted, A behavior which can be observe on the phenomenon that occurs between the moon and the earth.

The hemisphere of the planet is so hot that it causes clouds in the sky to be dispersed and also breaks molecules present in the atmosphere to their individual atoms. The extreme temperature difference also drives ferocious winds at speeds up to 18,000 km/h.

Although iron is considered being hot at 1400°c, this temperature on this planet is adjudged cold enough for iron to condense either as clouds, as rain, possibly droplets that will be falling into the deeper layer of the atmosphere. The planet orbiting so close to its star, which is eventually dancing in the outer atmosphere of the star is being subjected to all kinds of physics that is beyond the scope of the human intellectual framework.

On dayside, the planet orbit is so close to it's host star that it takes it only 43 hours to complete one revolution, thus the temperature of the planet on day hours exceeds 2,400°c which is hot enough to vaporize metals.

On the other hand, the temperature will be as less as 1000°c on night side which will cause the heated metals to condense and rain.

Regarding the future of the planet, suggestions had been made that it might end up in the star or the radiation field from star might blow away the planet atmosphere, leaving it to be a hot Rocky core. Irrespective of future anticipating events, the wasp - 76b planet has stood out to be the most unique of all planets discovered by scientist as it does not just rain metals but also survive soar upsurge in temperature when it's precipitate, leaving a question mark on the planet future distinction.
