This Planet Has Metal In Its Atmosphere #shorts #space - Video

WASP-121b is an ultra-hot Jupiter located about 900 light-years away.

Its dayside reaches temperatures around 2,000–3,000°C, hot enough for metals such as iron and magnesium to exist as gas. Observations with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope detected magnesium and iron gas escaping from its atmosphere.

More recent observations have even revealed gaseous titanium in its extreme atmosphere.

This is a world where the weather is nothing like Earth.
