Earth is not a perfect sphere, Mercury is the hottest planet, and Jupiter is the largest celestial body in the Solar System. This is general knowledge that does not require a degree in astronomy. However, there are billions of planets in the Universe, some of which are truly amazing! For example, there is an eternal night on one of them. And there is no romantic night sky dotted with beautiful stars. Here, the nights are pitch black and scorching hot. Have you heard about the planet that is so close to its sun that half of its surface is a literal ocean of lava? The other half is shrouded in eternal darkness because it basically never rotates toward the sun. The planet is always in the same position. Between the lava and the darkness lies the twilight zone – a thin strip of dark nothingness. Spooky, isn't it? So if you are looking for a handful of astronomical curiosities and amazing facts about space, you have come to the right place! #brightside TIME: TrEs-2b 00:00 55 Cancri E 00:51 HD 189733 b 1:15 PSR B1257+12 2:05 Kepler-70 2:40 WASP-12b 3:23 Gliese 436-b 3:56 Venus 4:31 OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb 5:16 Dimidium 5:57 Osiris 6:41 COROT exo-3b 7:24 COROT-7b 7:55 OTS 44 8:31 Carbon planets 9:12 Music: Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ The materials used (photos, videos and others) come from: https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ___________________ Subscribe to the Bright Side https://bit.ly/2n9VrJj
