The planet, known as HD 189733b, is a gas giant with a daytime temperature of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit where it possibly rains liquid glass sideways amid 4,500 mph winds, NASA says.

Sounds lovely. I can't wait until I can take an inter-stellar vacation to this exotic locale.

And for those of you who don't know. The number 189733 stands for:

1: Livability index on a scale of 1 to 1000, rounded up.
8: The percentage certainty that there are winds to 4,500 mph.
9: The percentage certainty that it does rain glass.
733: Microseconds a 99.9th percentile human (i.e. Katniss) could expect to live

Soooo... The next place mankind should colonize?

Sometimes I think they just make this **** up to see what we'll believe.

Considering there's somewhere between like 100 billion and 10 trillion planets in our own galaxy can they just wake me for the ones that are remotely inhabitable?

It's like they're justifying a paycheck :smile:

Get Sirius.

Wow, somewhere to go in case hell is filled up

'b' is the connotation used to show that it is still in fact safer than Mexico.

Lets name it Pluto so I know my whole child hood wasn't a lie

So...it's blowing liquid glass rain at a speed faster than most bullets? Now that's impressive.

Yeah like the one we are on as there may not be that many more.

Kinnick seems to always be sold out so I guess being pelted by liquid glass might be a step up.

 

[aauummm]

Wow, it impresses me too.
