The toxic and deadly planet smelled of rotten eggs towards the Earth

A new cosmic body has been called a killer that will attack without being noticed

Scientists have said that a planet the size of Jupiter, located 64 light years from Earth, stinks of rotten eggs, and there are also happenings on it deadly storms and storms.

A new exoplanet is located outside our solar system. There are clouds in the atmosphere that are “pierced by glass,” and it rains down, according to NASA. In the study, astronomers said the atmosphere also contains trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide, which causes an unpleasant odor.

The new planet, called HD 189733 b, is a so-called “hot planet Jupiter,” which is a group of gas giants with extremely high temperatures. According to NASA, it orbits its stars at close range, making it «hot as hell.»

According to scientists, HD 189733 b takes just 2.2 days to orbit its star, and due to its proximity to it, its surface temperature is 926 degrees Celsius. By comparison, Jupiter, the gas giant in our solar system, takes about 12 Earth years to orbit the sun.

NASA calls HD 189733 b “a nightmare world and a killer that cannot be seen coming.”

“To the human eye, this distant planet appears bright blue. But any space traveler who confuses it with Earth's friendly skies would be greatly mistaken, the space agency said. “The weather in this world is deadly.”

Wind speed reaches 2414 kilometers per hour. These showers indicate dangerous glass rain, and NASA reports that «being exposed to such rain on this planet is more than an inconvenience — it is death by a thousand cuts.»

The James Webb Space Telescope was used to study deadly exoplanet that was discovered in 2005. The researchers say the discovery of the «smelly atmosphere» gives scientists new clues about how sulfur may influence both the interiors and atmospheres of gaseous worlds beyond Earth's solar system.

“We're not looking for life on this planet because it is too hot, but finding hydrogen sulfide is a starting point for searching for this molecule on other planets and gaining a deeper understanding of how different types of planets form,” explains astrophysicist Guangwei Fu.

By Fu said studying sulfur could help scientists better understand how planets form and what they are made of. In the future, Fu and his research team intend to monitor the sulfur content of other exoplanets.

“We want to know how these types of planets came to be, and understanding the composition of their atmosphere will help us answer this question,” Fu concludes.
