Englishisamust:nope its biologically impossible, our body is meant to detoriate as with any other thing , living or non |
McGg:lots of God thoughts huh...... And how all insignificant our actions are ? At at the end we all would float in space in a billion years from now , probably creating new asteroids, sun,debris, mountains and even new planets . |
KELT- 9b This is the hottest exoplanet ever found, discovered in 2016. It is so infernally hot that it’s literally ripping apart hydrogen molecules in its atmosphere! A “Hot Jupiter” are massive gas giants that orbit so close to their stars that they are too hot to sustain life. KELT-9b is a superhot Jupiter that resides 670 light-years from Earth. It weighs about three times the mass of Jupiter. It boasts surface temperature of 7800° F (4300° C). NASA has found that molecules cannot stay together in the hot atmosphere of this planet. KELT- 9b is also tidally locked, meaning one side always faces its host star, and the other is always away from the star and its heat. The question becomes, could life actually exist here considering its atmosphere? The answer is that this planet is probably uninhabitable due to the high probability of violent weather and unaccommodating temperatures.

CumOnHer:sure.... |
PSR J1719-1438 b PSR J1719-1483 b is a gas giant that orbits around its star PSR J1719-1438. As the star name implies, it is a pulsar. More specifically, it’s a millisecond pulsar which makes it a pulsar planet. It was discovered in 2011 by the pulsar timing method. As pulsars rotate, they emit radio waves that are detected as pulses. Planets that revolve around the pulsar cause the pulsar to move slightly, causing variations in the timing of pulses. It is an interesting planet when compared to Earth. This is the densest planet ever discovered at nearly 20 times the density of Jupiter. It is also slightly more massive than Jupiter. Its mass is 385 times the mass of the Earth, and its radius is about 6.47 times that. It’s also 271 times the volume of Earth, about 168.39 trillion cubic miles (271 trillion cubic km). The gravitational acceleration of this planet is 98.64 yards (90.2 meters) per second squared, about 9.19 times Earth’s. Thus, this planet is most likely largely composed of crystalline carbon but with a density far greater than that of diamonds.

Gliese 581c This planet is very special because it’s been voted by the scientific community as one of the top three exoplanets likely to support alien life. However, it’s very different than the Earth. It orbits a red dwarf star. So, if you looked up into the sky, it’s star would always be a deep crimson red color. The planet is tidally locked, which means it doesn’t rotate on its axis, just like our moon’s relationship to Earth. So one side of this planet is always facing away from its star, and the other always faces towards it. The side of Gliese 581c that is always facing its red dwarf star is so blisteringly hot that if you were to stand there, it would melt you alive. However, the opposite side of the planet facing away from the star is so cold that you would instantly freeze. So, you may be wondering how this extremely violent planet could possibly support life similar to humans. There is a narrow strip of land halfway between its hot side and its icy side, which is just the perfect temperature to support life. But, be careful not to take a step on the wrong side, or you will most certainly be either toast or a popsicle. In 2008, we sent a message from Earth directly at Gliese 581c, and it’s expected to reach the planet in 2029. According to some researchers, the Gliese 581 system is relatively close to Earth, at 20.37 light-years (119 trillion miles or 192 trillion km) away in the direction of the constellation of Libra

WASP-12b This planet was discovered on April 1, 2008. Due to the extreme closeness of its orbit around its star, it has one of the lowest densities of any of the exoplanets. This strange planet takes a little over a day to orbit its star, in contrast to 365 days it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. This poor, unfortunate planet is slowly being eaten alive by its star. It’s caught up in an orbit so close to its star that the whole planet heats up to an unimaginably high temperature, and its mass is slowly being sucked up as it hurtles around the star extremely fast. The planet is roughly the size of Jupiter. However, it appears to be larger because the molten temperature of its parent star has caused WASP-12b to balloon up. As a result, this poor planet loses an incredible 5.9 billion Imperial tons (6 billion metric tons) of mass per second. It’s being torn apart so quickly that it’s no longer a sphere but looks more like a stretched-out egg.

HD 189733 b This is an exoplanet that is approximately 64.5 light-years away from our solar system, located in the constellation of Vulpecula. This planet was discovered on October 5, 2005. It is orbiting a star named HD 189733. Its mass is 16.2% higher than that of Jupiter. Next time you complain about the weather on Earth, just stop for a moment and be thankful that you don’t live on planet HD 189773 b where it constantly rains glass sideways. You read that correctly—glass. This planet’s atmosphere is full of silicon particles which gives it a beautiful blue color. Because of the planet’s extremely high surface temperature, these silicon particles condense to form solid glass, which flies around the planet sideways in its endless 4000 mph winds. HD 189733 b orbits its host star once every 2.2 days at the orbital speed of 341,000 mph (152.5 km) per second, making it a “Hot Jupiter” with poor prospects for extraterrestrial life

Gliese 436 b was actually discovered in August 2004 by R. Paul Butler and Geoffrey Marcy. This planet seems to defy everything you thought you knew about chemistry because it’s a giant ball of ice, but it’s on fire! Imagine for a second that you are on the planet Hoth from the movie Star Wars. That’s exactly what Gliese 436 b would look like, except that the icy surface constantly burns on 822.2° F (439° C). So, how can this be? How can ice defy the chemistry laws and stay completely solid at 822.2° (439°) above its melting point? Well, the planet’s gravity is so immensely strong that it pulls the melted ice water towards its core, compressing it into a solid form, stopping it from ever evaporating, no matter how much it melts.

55 Cancri e (Fan Favourite) 55 Cancri e was actually discovered on August 30, 2004. This planet is anything but dark. In fact, it’s luminescent in space, sparkling just like a diamond. This is because it is, in fact, a gigantic diamond. 55 Cancri e is an exoplanet that orbits its sun-like host star, 55 Cancri. The mass of this exoplanet is about 8.63 times the mass of the Earth. Yes, that’s right, this planet is about twice the size of the Earth. The planet is very carbon-heavy, so dense that all of the carbon found on it is in the form of a solid diamond! That is a third of its mass. This diamond planet is located 40 light-years away from Earth. Even if you could travel that far to retrieve the endless supply of diamonds it has to offer, you would completely overwhelm the diamond supply on Earth and therefore make diamonds completely worthless. So, this beautiful planet is best admired from afar.

TrES-2b First up is this dark menacing planet affectionately named TrES-2b. This planet was discovered on August 21, 2006, by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey (TrES). A 2008 study conducted on this planet concluded that the TrES-2 system is a binary star system planet. It is located 750 light-years away from our solar system. As far as we know, it is officially the darkest planet in the entire universe. This is because it reflects less than 1% of all light that hits it, making it significantly darker than most known exoplanets. Its ominously dark surface can be partially explained by the light absorbent gasses that make up the planet’s bulk. But scientists don’t really know for sure why it is so dark. One reason for its darkness could be the absence of reflective clouds, such as those clouds that make Jupiter so bright. Due to TrES-2 b’s proximity to its parent star and the resulting high temperature, it gets even creepier. Not only does this evil-looking ball of gas not reflect any light, it actually glows a molten red color, as if it’s a hot ball of coal on fire. This is because the surface of the planet is a punishing 2012° F (1100° C), which is so hot that it glows red.

Space is unbelievably strange and vast . You would be forgiven for thinking that every planet out there is similar, just a big ball of rock and gas. However, planets are remarkably more unique than that. Scientists and other inquisitive people have been exploring this universe since the beginning of human existence because they wanted to understand better the wonders found in the night sky. It is their curiosity that led them to think about things from different perspectives. Although we have yet to find other life out there, astronomers and others continue to hope and explore. During these efforts, we have discovered some extraordinarily beautiful planets. Here are 13 of some of the most beautiful planets of the universe yet discovered. While they may seem weird, it’s that strangeness, in a way, that makes them beautiful. So are you ready to imagine yourself on a fantastic science fiction trek across the universe to find the most beautiful planets? Strap yourself in. Mufasalion,Dominique

Here are the 13 most beautiful planets in the universe. From TrES-2b to PSR J1719-1438 B. If you’re interested in learning about the 13 most beautiful planets in the universe, then this article is for you. Let’s get started! |
MufasaLion:Making her realize that stars are distant suns made her realize how further flawed the Bible is The idea of a star following 3 wise men is absolutely impossible The revaluations claim the stars will fall out of the heavens on Earth smh Joshas God stopping the Sun is clearly impossible since its the Earth that's moves and not the sun , she is a freethinker BTW Are you Theist though ,I would not want to insult your Religion . |
MufasaLion:exactly , what do you think about the moon , since its theories we have and not fact per say of the origin of the moon , I do Believe an Earth size Asteroid hit Early Earth and later formed the moon Or a dead star/planet trapped within the Earth's Orbits as we have seen actual planets trap their moons , this would explain why the moon is tidally locked with the Earth |
MufasaLion:Red Snow haha , wouldn't it contain space contaminants and corrosive elements , debris , probably methane , dangerous but of course we would have protective suits on ![]() |
CumOnHer:I do not support his unnessesary choice of words |
CumOnHer:lol you know how it works because God told you.......... |
MufasaLion:couple of minutes ago I was explaining to my younger sister how our sun is a star . Mars , dreamt of Mars , but as a fav planet I'll go with Cancri e obviously because of its luminous nature in the galaxy , sadly Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet , interesting to know Pluto snows though . |
CumOnHer:yes in fact I do practice sorcery |
CumOnHer:sorcerer is what you're looking for I'm the sourcerer |
[quote author=ufotunang post=110367639][/quote]So in context God changed..... |
rickleye:knew it! Spent time replying one of the pathetic lots, well it happens , hope it doesn't repeat though , shame really . |
MufasaLion:I fancy your dp , I study astrology , astronomy and cosmology. |
MufasaLion:Mufasa tell me what is your world veiw , the essence of life or consciousness particularly |
MufasaLion:We are creatures of habits ,yes? Lag Lag Lag , Scary place ....... Well according to the media. |
Datboredberri , hey. ...how's the evening going for you? |
Candidlady:Cheers!!! |
MufasaLion:Aside the media Hype ,Abeokuta remains peaceful and tranquil as it should be , its an old city . |
Candidlady:nah we let them fool themselves with religion and hate while we sit back and sip taquilla listen to music and watch the world burn (at least watch them fool around from a safe distance) |
There literarily should be a stab button on Nairaland , would be the most hit button on here |
MufasaLion:Finally !!! Still hot in Abeokuta , but since y'all have rain ,it'll be soon the atmosphere calms and rains here too |
