European Space Agency discovers alien planet with scorching temperatures, Read more

European ncy (ESA) h launched its Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite, nicknamed CHEOPS, in December 2019 and craft began making observations in April 2020. Less than a year later from its establishment CHEOPS is observing an alien planet which is hot and tilted around a warped star. discovery shocked many in scientific community. Re on to kw more about this majestic alien planet.

CHEOPS spots a bizarre alien planet

new study about this alien planet was published in ESA’s official journal on its website. It reveals that planet has been named WASP-189b, and was first detected in 2018. CHEOPS observations have revealed that WASP-189b is a strange world which is orbiting a stranger star. star is so hot that it looks blue. Moreover, planet Wasp 189B is so close to star it orbits in just 2.7 Earth days.

Monika Lendl, an astrophysicist at University of Geneva in Switzerland and le author of new study revealed that so far only a handful of planets are kwn to exist around stars this hot. Lendl revealed that this system is by far brightest one scientists have ever spotted. Moreover, she revealed in study that WASP-189b is also brightest hot Jupiter. It can be observed as it passes in front of or behind its star.

Wasp 189B is extremely bright and hot

NASA's venerable Kepler Telescope and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), usually spot planets blocking light as y pass in front of stars. However, watching a planet pass behind its star is much more difficult. But curious case of WASP-189b changes all se tions and findings. It is so bright that at this point scientists simply cant use simple old trick.

Lendl furr states in study that WASP-189b does t reflect a lot of starlights. Inste, most of star’s light gets absorbed by planet, thus heating it up and making it shine even brighter. ESA’s CHEOPS studied alien planet in March, April and June. It caught glimpses of planet passing behind its star four times. data collected has revealed some key features of system.

• First, alien planet is 5,800 degrees Fahrenheit (3,200 degrees Celsius). It is so hot that even iron would turn to gas. Scientists also calculated planet's size and it is about 1.6 times rius of Jupiter.
• Wasp-189 b is spinning around so fast that it's being pulled outwards at its equator. It’s a star also seems to have lighter and darker patches on its surface.
• In our solar system,  planets orbit around sun's equator, but WASP-189b orbits its star at a tilt which can easily be deemed dramatic. tilt brings it close to star's poles. This odd characteristic also makes scientists suspect that planet has likely formed farr away from start and came close to it due to some powerful gravitational force.
