Astronomers have found a planet orbiting a dead sun with a never-before seen atmosphere, and it’s shaped like a lemon.
The exoplanet, dubbed PSR J2322-2650 b, has a helium-and-carbon atmosphere, something researchers say they’ve never seen before. The air could be full of soot clouds, and deep inside, carbon could even clump together into solid crystals, possibly forming diamonds.
A giant planet as heavy as Jupiter with a carbon-heavy atmosphere, orbiting a dead star, does not fit any known planet model, challenging long-standing ideas about how worlds form and survive. The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggest that planetary systems can exist under far more extreme conditions than scientists thought.
The new research revealed that powerful gravity from its nearby star, which lies about 750 light-years away from Earth, stretches and squeezes the planet into a lemon shape.
Bring back Planet Pluto.
Genesis explains what you need to know about how this planet was formed, the rest will be explained in due time. Research is good, but we need to do what God’s Word says, and trust what He’s told us.
Before He said “let there be light,” there was a planet covered in water.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. -John 1:5
God does awesome work!
The more we learn… the more we see there is more to learn…or to discover if you prefer.
The planet models are as incorrect as the climate models.
That’s a big planet. The carbon compounds in the atmosphere would not condense into diamonds since that carbon is combined with other elements.
