Researchers have recently discovered a planet where glass-rain occurs. According to the BBC, the researchers believe that the planet is dark blue due to glass rain.
Researchers at the US space agency NASA say they have discovered for the first time the true color of an alien planet.
The researchers said that using the Hubble Telescope, they have found this planet as dark blue as Earth. Researchers say that the extreme temperature and weather of the planet HD 189333B is so harsh that it rains glass, and the reflection of light on this glass makes it look dark blue. At 63 light-years from Earth, the planet is basically a gas giant, orbiting very close to its star. The planet is cyclone at a speed of seven thousand kilometers per hour as the Earth and the glass-rain continues.
The study will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Earlier, researchers said that ‘what we call dry stars, Venus, has intermittent metallic rain or metallic snowfall. Lead and bismuth fall there like snow. 'Researchers believe that the snow on Venus is made from lead sulfide and bismuth sulfide.
Using data from NASA's Magellan mission to Venus in 1969, researchers have speculated that Venus may have metallic snow.
Is metallic snow or glass-rain possible? Bruce Fagley, a researcher at the University of Washington in the United States, told the Huffington Post that the surface of other planets and the atmosphere are much warmer than on Earth. The metal compounds emitted from the volcanoes there condense in the colder parts of the atmosphere and fall like snow on the earth's surface.
Much of the information outside the solar system is still unknown to us. However, researchers say, this strange process continues even in the closest Mars to the Earth in our solar system. However, instead of glass or metallic rain on Mars, carbon dioxide snowfall occurs.
