#WASP-76b

[mindblowingscience]

Heatwaves on Earth may be uncomfortable and even dangerous for some, but our planet has nothing on the blisteringly hot world of WASP-76 b.  Astronomers have taken a deeper look at the exoplanet on which temperatures soar to around 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius), hot enough to vaporize iron. In the process, the team identified 11 chemical elements in the atmosphere of the planet and measured how abundant they are. Remarkably, some of the rock-forming elements detected on this distant planet haven't even been measured in the solar system gas giants Saturn and Jupiter yet. "Truly rare are the times when an exoplanet hundreds of light years away can teach us something that would otherwise likely be impossible to know about our own solar system," team leader and Université de Montréal Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets Ph.D. Stefan Pelletier said in a statement. "This is the case with this study."

WASP-76b is a hellish planet - but with "glory"

There are many words that could be used to describe WASP-76b — hellish, scorching, turbulent, chaotic, and even violent. This is a planet outside the solar system that sits so close to its star it gets hot enough to vaporize lead. So, as you can imagine, until now, “glorious” wasn’t one of those words. https://www.space.com/hellish-exoplanet-rainbow-glory-effect-cheops This planet (located in…

Excitement excitement excitement!!!!

Ok ok-

One:Through my own observations and studies, psychic types, while some do show high levels of consciousness equal to humans, and others have intelligence that probably even succeeds what humans aren't even capable of (my own opinion) one thing I have noticed, that invisible connection that seems to reside in if not all psychic types. The ability to sense each other, not exactly emotions like Gardevoir or a certain pokemon over in the Galar region, but the presence of another. Are you capable of a type of sense like that?

Two:your hair! Is it like that one condition where one is unable to even style their own hair?

Three:One story I have read about Jirachi, is that it sleeps for thousands of years before waking up for a short amount of time, obviously your here. Awake. Probably only tired from college, but do you feel anything that lingers? Like a groggy or sluggish sensation?

Four:Any favorite theories about other pokemon said to be from space?

Five: favorite planet? Mine is Saturn.

Alright, I'll take it in order then 1: As far as I'm aware, I'm not. Then again, I got exactly ZERO instincts when I ended up like this. I had to train for MONTHS to be able to lift an empty teacup and more importantly: talk psychically. I do not have vocal chords as of ending up a jirachi.

If I have it, it's something I would need to learn how to use. I CAN tell you though that some people's thoughts are so "loud" that I read their minds (at least for certain thoughts) even without wanting to. So it might be something I have like that. Potentially.

2: Sticks like that. I CAN get it into other positions but... it basically requires dunking it in bacon grease or pins/clips/etc. And it pulls on my scalp a bit to do so. Enough to be annoying. Seeing as how I overall like my look, it's not worth the hassle of doing anything but leaving it like it wants to naturally lie.

3: Graduate Student Exhaustion Is Indistinguishable From Jirachi Tiredness

Though in seriousness, my sleep schedule is trash. I legitimately cannot answer this at this time as it is impossible to distinguish from impacts of grad student bad habits I had prior to the change. If it exists.

4: The Alolan Aether Incident opened up a whole kettle of worms. There's a bunch of surveys right now trying to figure out what other pokemon might be candidates for non-primary abiogenesis events. It's a bit too technical to get into here, but look up the field survey article Overview Of Pokemon Phylogeny In Light of Post-Alolan Crisis Genetic Surveys, Acacia et al. Interesting stuff.

Researchers have uncovered extraordinary conditions on WASP-76b, an exoplanet where temperatures exceed 2,000 degrees due to its close proximity to its host star. This ultra-hot gas giant, located 640 light years away, showcases phenomena such as iron vapor that condenses into nighttime iron rain and intense iron winds across its atmosphere.

Rainbow-like phenomenon may glow on hellish exoplanet WASP-76b | CNN

COVENTRY, England — Astronomers have discovered potential evidence of a phenomenon known as the “glory” effect on a planet beyond our solar system, a first-of-its-kind observation that might shed light on the habitability of distant worlds.

The so-called “glory light” effect is a fascinating phenomenon that looks like rings of light surrounding a central bright spot. This happens when light from a star (like the Sun) is scattered in a specific way by tiny particles in the atmosphere of a planet or moon. These particles bend the light, creating a series of colorful, concentric circles. It’s similar to seeing a rainbow around your shadow when you’re looking opposite the sun on a misty day, except this occurs on a much larger scale and can be seen from space.

The effect has only once been found on another planet – Venus – meaning that, if confirmed, this is the first “glory” ever to be detected outside our solar system.

“Never before have we seen these colorful, concentric rings on an extrasolar body,” says co-author Dr. Thomas Wilson in a statement. “So, if confirmed with future studies, this first exoplanetary glory would make WASP-76b a truly unique body – and give us a beautiful tool for understanding the atmospheres of distance exoplanets and how habitable they could be.”

One side of the planet always faces the sun, reaching an unbearably hot temperature of 2,400 degrees Celsius. Conversely, one side always faces away from the sun, living in an “endless” night where clouds drip iron molten rain.

However, observations from the European Space Agency’s Characterising Exoplanet Satellite (CHEOPS) suggest that there may be a “glory” between these two sides.

“There’s a reason no glory has been seen before outside our solar system – it requires very peculiar conditions,” says lead author Dr. Olivier Demangeon, from the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences in Portugal. “First, you need atmospheric particles that are close-to-perfectly spherical, completely uniform, and stable enough to be observed over a long time. Then, the planet’s nearby star needs to shine directly at it, with the observer at just the right orientation.”

“This is the first time that such a sharp change has been detected in the brightness of an exoplanet,” explains Dr. Demangeon. “This discovery leads us to hypothesize that this unexpected glow could be caused by a strong, localized, and directionally dependent reflection – the glory effect.”

He says that the next step would be to use NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to confirm this is the “glory effect officially.

“Confirmation would imply that the temperature of WASP-76b’s atmosphere must be stable over time, enabling the presence of clouds made up of perfectly spherical water droplets crucial to glory formation,” Dr Demangeon concludes.

This is a planet outside the solar system that sits so close to its star it gets hot enough to vaporize lead. So, as you can imagine, until now, "glorious" wasn't one of those words. This more positive descriptor was added to the list quite recently, as astronomers have detected hints of something called "glory" in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet. The glory effect, hinted at in data from the European Space Agency's exoplanet-hunting mission Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite (CHEOPS), is a rainbow-like arrangement of colorful, concentric rings of light that occur only under peculiar conditions. This effect is often seen over our own planet, as well as in the atmosphere of our violent neighbor Venus, but this is the first time scientists have seen it happening outside our cosmic neighborhood; WASP-76b is located 637 light-years away from us.
