We’ve Discovered a Planet That Ignores Physics Completely



Scientists have found a planet so strange, it seems to ignore the rules of physics we know! 🌌 This wild discovery, called WASP-12b, is a gas giant so close to its star that it’s stretched into the shape of a football instead of being round. 🏈 Not only that, but it’s so hot—about 4,600°F (2,550°C)—that it’s literally being vaporized by its star’s intense heat. 🌞 What’s crazier? Its years last just 26 hours, because it zooms around its star at insane speeds. 🌪️ Plus, the planet’s surface is pitch black, absorbing almost all the light that hits it—like a cosmic sponge. 🌠
