Jakarta –
There are some planet extreme outside Solar system we are discovered by scientists. One of the newest is an exoplanet called TOI-1431b or also known as MASCARA-5b. This planet is so hot, maybe even the hottest in the universe so far.
At 490 light years from Earth, MASCARA-5b is above the red dwarf star in the Milky Way galaxy. As an illustration, the iron will immediately evaporate there instantly.
“This is a world that is really like hell. During the day the temperature is around 2,700 degrees Celsius and at night approaches around 2,300 degrees Celsius. No life can survive in its atmosphere,” said Dr. Brett Addison, an astrophysicist at the University of Southern Queensland. .
“This is quite an interesting finding because the star is also one of the hottest and because the planet’s orbit is so close to its star, it is one of the most popular planet hottest ever surveyed, “he added.
Quoted detikINET from Independent, Monday (3/5/2021), the temperature of the planet MASCARA-5b is significantly higher than the melting point of most metals, where most of it melts at temperatures below 2,000 degrees Celsius.
Titanium melts at 1,670 degrees Celsius, platinum at 1,770 degrees and stainless steel between 1,375 to 1,530 degrees. So that means, these types of metals will not be able to last long on the planet MASCARA-5b.
However, it is true that the planet cannot match the Sun. The sun on its surface reaches a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius and the atmosphere is around a million degrees Celsius.
The MASCARA-5b is about twice as big Planet Jupiter and its species are quite rare. He was first tracked by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) facility as well as observations at the Stellar Observation Network Group (SONG) telescope.
