Strangest Worlds Other Than Our Own

Imagine a world unlike ours, a world that is new, never been seen, and never set foot upon. Indeed, there have been events or occurrences that scientist at NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. These Planets have unlikely characteristics that will even wonder you more.

Meet 55 Cancri E ( or known as Janssen in the IAU), a diamond planet (actually a Carbon Planet). In its core is a carbon-rich core and since the planet is closer to its host star 55 Cancri A. The carbon in the core is superheated & highly pressurized in return, the core now comprises of crystals. Now, the crystals are a third of the planets total mass. And this is classified as a SuperEarth due to its size about twice of Earth and 8 time the mass.

Next is CFBDSIR 2149-0403 ( or shortly known as CF 21) is a rogue planet (meaning it has no parent star and is moving in space because it is somehow ejected from its parent star system also means no orbit to travel upon) that is darkly colored and is emitting radiation such that the planet looks like a dark red eye. Partially contributing to its color is its atmosphere consisting of water and methane. Planets also supposedly do not release radiation. And by the way, Rogue Planets are comparable to Jupiter's size and there are about 200 million rogue planets in our solar system, alone.

This is KELT 11B, (or CELT 11B) a Styrofoam-like planet and is about to be absorbed by its parent star KELT 11 due to its proximity to the star. Its mass is about 5 times of lighter than Jupiter and density comparable to foam on Earth.

Here in COROT 7B, the side facing its sun Gliese 581 evaporates molten lava on the surface of the planet. And the other side that faces away cools the evaporated lava and rains as solid igneous rocks.

This is the Blue Glass Planet, HD 189773B, this is composed of silicates, that is also similar to sand or glass. Its winds are almost 8 times faster than the speed of sound. And with those, we expect that this planet will rain glass. The temperature ranges from 700 to less than 100 Celsius.


There are more unique planets that are yet to be discovered. This goes to show that the universe has a lot to offer.
