There are thousands of planets outside our solar system, but what is most interesting to scientists is finding a planet with an atmosphere that could be the key to studying it more deeply
By analyzing the atmosphere, the planet's temperature can be determined, there pressure is, as well as many other properties, in addition to the possibility of finding unexpected things.
More than 870 light-years away, the researchers found a star-like system of only one planet, about twice the size of Jupiter, 1.8 million miles from its star
The discovered planet "WASP-12b" belongs to the category of "hot-Jupiter" planets, because of its proximity to the star, which makes the temperature on the surface very high
Scientists have been able to observe the light emanating from the star system, passing through the atmosphere of the planet, noting that the light is scattered in specific directions, in the same way that clouds scattered sunlight falling on the ground
This indicates that the outer planet contains the clouds, with liquid drops at a temperature of 2226 ° C. In this case, the planet's cover appears to contain the metal corunde compound, which is embedded in the sapphire stone on the ground, leading to the conclusion that WASP-12b contains rubies of sapphire
