Iron rain on exoplanet is driven by huge extremes in temperature
Friday, March 27, 2020 IST
It could be raining molten iron on some exoplanets, according to David Ehrenreich at the University of Geneva and an international team of astronomers. The team discovered evidence for the metallic precipitation in atmospheric spectra of the giant, ultra-hot planet WASP-76b that is about 390 light-years from Earth. Their findings could provide new insights into the exotic chemistry that plays out in the atmospheres of such hot gas giants.
