There is a planet 63 light-years from Earth where the rain is made of molten glass, the winds blow at 7,000 kilometres per hour, the daytime temperature is over 1,000 degrees Celsius, and the planet itself, viewed from space, is the same deep blue as Earth. - Space Daily
The planet’s name is HD 189733b. It is one of the closest extrasolar planets to Earth that can be studied in detail, and one of the most thoroughly characterised exoplanets in the astronomical literature. Its star, HD 189733, sits in the constellation Vulpecu…
