X-ray Signal from Helix Nebula Suggests Planet Was Destroyed by White Dwarf
Astronomers have traced decades-old X-ray emissions from the Helix Nebula to a white dwarf possibly consuming planetary debris. Reports suggest a Jupiter-like planet may have been torn apart by the star’s intense gravitational forces. Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton indicate that remnants of the destroyed plane...

Jupiter-Like Exoplanet With Iron Winds and Molten Metal Rain Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered that the exoplanet WASP-76b, located about 634 light-years away in the Pisces constellation, experiences extreme weather conditions unlike anything on Earth. With temperatures soaring to around 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius), the planet's atmosphere is ravaged by high-speed iron winds and molten metal r...

This Mysterious 'Hot Jupiter' Is On A Wild Orbital Ride
Hot Jupiters are exactly what they sound like. But it's how these Jupiter-like gas giants get so hot that's interesting: The planets orbit super-close to their host stars, creating incredibly hot worlds that undergo a whole slew of intriguing chemical reactions. Our Jupiter may be distant and cool by comparison, but in other solar systems, scientis...
