Glass rain on special

For the first time astronomers can confirm, the green color exists on HD189733b, the planet lies 63 light-years away from Earth, is the true color, created by the silicate rain (glass). special.

The green planet possesses the same color as the earth

Much like the earth, if viewed from a distance, but too close to the sun, the temperature at HD189733b is always at 1,000 degrees Celsius. When the glass rain occurs, the wind speed on this planet will reach 7,000 km / h. These harsh conditions show that life cannot exist on HD189733b despite its blue color that makes mistakes.

Scientists also claim that the mechanism of creating green on HD189733b is completely different from what happens on earth. Specifically, the earth's blue color is created when the oceans absorb other colors in sunlight except for blue, making it reflected back into space.

Meanwhile, the blue color on HD189733b is generated by light shining through the glass particles in the atmosphere. High temperatures and harsh conditions make the oceans unable to exist on HD189733b like the earth. On the other hand, HD189733b is also the case for the class of so-called "hot Jupiter" planets , including planets of the same size as our Jupiter but very close to its sun.
