Planet Burning With Rays From Its Star Discovered

Space telescopes have been providing us with information about life in space since they took their place in orbit. Some of this information can surprise us both with their interesting structures and the way they are found.

Information from NASA’s Spitzerve Hubble Space Telescopes also contained very interesting information about a new exoplanet. It has been announced that the new exoplanet is an example of the type of planet called ‘Hot Jupiter’.

The atmosphere of the planet is about 1648 degrees Celsius

After examining the information from the telescopes, the researchers reached very interesting information about this newly discovered planet. The planet, called KELT-20b, was determined to be 400 light-years from Earth and 5 million miles from its own star. But things got interesting right after that point because its star, 5 million miles away, was sending ultraviolet rays to it, and the planet’s atmosphere was therefore about 1648 degrees Celsius.

It was known that many planets belonging to the type of planet called Hot Jupiter have a short distance from their star and that a year is completed in about 10 days. Of course, with this information, as the name suggests, the temperature in the atmosphere of these planets is quite high. As we said before, this new discovery has revealed some very interesting information. The most important of this information was that the effects of a star on the atmosphere of an exoplanet were observed for the first time. Until now, no star’s influence on exoplanets has been detected, except for the star of KELT-20b, which emits UV rays. This new observation was the researchers’ biggest piece of evidence for the effects of stars.
