10 Strangest Planets In Space!
From planets with strange phenomena, to ones that just truly boggling the mind (and the laws of physics), join me as I reveal to you 10 of the strangest planets ever discovered in space! 10. Uranus It might seem a bit odd to think that there are "strange planets" within our own solar system. But if you think about it, our solar system would've been the first thing that astronomers discovered, right? So imagine their surprise when they found out about uranus. Obviously, when compared to the rest of the planets in our solar system, Uranus is an odd duck due that it's on its side most of the time. This is proven by its rings, which instead of being perfectly horizontal, or on a slightly titled axis, is actually almost perfectly vertical in how they look in orientation to the planet. Not many planets in the universe have rings that have a vertical feel to them. But if you think that the rings and the "tilt" of the planet is all that makes Uranus strange, you would be wrong. Because its clouds are also a bit of an oddity. You see, some of the gasses of the planet were known of for a while, but the makeup of the clouds themselves are still being researched by various scientists. One such breakthrough via the research came in 2017 when it was discovered that Hydrogen Sulfide is within its clouds. So while Uranus may seem harmless at first glance, it's not a planet you want to come into contact with. And while it may not be the strangest thing in the world, Uranus is also the only gas planet in our solar system to look like it only has one color. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune (and also Venus though it's not a gas planet) all have a menagerie of colors thanks to its many gasses. But Uranus only looks like it has one color most of the time. And while you're about to see a whole bunch of weird planets within our universe, you do need to take stock and admit that we have some pretty strange planets close to home. 9. GJ 504b If you don't think that a planet on its side is much of a "strange thing", then how about a planet that is actually a rather odd color. Say...pink? Because if you were to head 57.3 light years away from Earth, you would find a planet called GJ 504b. And it is in fact a planet that is 100% pink. Or to be more colorfully accurate, it's a shade of Magenta. So, the obvious question is, "How does a planet get wrapped in a shade of pink/magenta?" That would be because while it is a fully formed planet, the process that made it a planet hasn't "burned through" yet. Meaning, the heat that helped make the planet is still around on GJ 504b. So as a result, the planet...is pink. Oh, and it should be noted for the record that this planet is actually the size of Jupiter. So it's not just a pink planet, it's a LARGE pink planet. Ah, but that's not all that's interesting about GJ 504b, for as scientists noted its place within its particular system, they noticed that the planet is actually incredibly far from its own sun. And yet, it's a massive planet, so that seems to contradict what the scientists of Earth feel is necessary to create certain kinds of planets. Because since it's so far from the sun, the debris needed to make it shouldn't have been around to form the planet. Yet, it's there. So it's big, it's pink, and it's a mystery to the people to our world. Yep, that's the definition of strange in my book. 8. Gliese 436 b Out there in the universe right now is a star called Gliese, and around that star are many planets, one of which is called Gliese 436 b. However, after being discovered, it got a not-so-nice nickname from us here on Earth. You see, it's called the "burning ice cube". And that nickname is meant to be very literal. The planet itself is a giant ice cube, it's composed of ice from the surface down. So it truly is an ice planet. Which isn't too strange on its own. That is until you find out that the temperature of the planet is a scorching 439 degrees Celsius. Which if you're looking for a conversion that is 822 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature would scorch our Earth and leave it lifeless in no time flat. So you're no doubt wondering how an "ice planet" could have scorching hot temperatures and still be whole, right? This has to do with planet itself, or more specifically, it has to do with what makes up the planet. I.E. the ice. There's so much water in Gliese 436 b thanks to the ice that the flaming hot temperatures don't affect the ice as much as you would expect. This is combined with the gravity of the planet, which is so strong that it actually compacts the water molecules in such a way that they cannot be burnt, and thus, can't be evaporated. As a result, you have a planet that is so hot that nothing can live on it, yet is so cold that the surface can't be burned. That's a literal meeting of the opposites. astronomy... 7. wasp 12b 4.kelt 9b 1. methuselah
