ESO astronomers observe exoplanet where it rains molten iron
The ESO finds another exoplanet that's definitely not a place for us to go.
WASP-76b is an extremely hot planet whose cooler side has a surface temperature of 1,500° C (2732° F).
Iron that evaporates in the heat of the planet's day side rains down in molten form on the night side.
ESO learned more about the planet's intense climate thanks to its new ESPRESSO (Echelle Spectrograph for Rocky Exoplanet and Stable Spectroscopic Observations) instrument.
