Progress astronomy reveals the secrets of the sky one after another.
Various findings generated: among them a number of Earth-like planets, black holes (black hole), or the largest galaxy.
The scientists also have discovered a planet shrouded in gas, called WASP-33b or also known as HD15082. And later revealed, this is the hottest planet ever found. Imagine, these exoplanets surface temperature up to 3200 degrees Celsius or more than half the Sun's surface
temperature reaches 6,000 degrees Celsius.
The burning surface of the planet is known from its orbit near the Sun-like star where the temperature up to 7160 degrees Celsius. Located 380 light-years away in the constellation Andromeda.
Astronomers first time realized the existence of Planet WASP-33b in 2006, after several phases observed dim parent star.
This causes the planet's magnitude was 4.5 times the size of Jupiter orbiting the star is less than 7 percent of the distance between Mercury to the Sun. Very close. Planet WASP-33b refine its orbit every 29.5 hours.
Based on the results of a study led by Alexis Smith from Keele University, Staffordshire, thermal emission WASP-33b is found using an infrared camera on the William Herschel telescope in the Canary Islands.
Unfolding temperature of the
planet is 9:00 degrees Celsius hotter than the planet predicated 'hottest' earlier in the Milky Way, the WASP-12b.
The planet is located 600 light years from Earth only have 10 million more years before it burned down.
Its proximity to its star, making the WASP-12b to reach the temperature of 2300 degrees Celsius. Once in orbit, the planet takes 1.1 days.
