Artist's illustration of the super-hot exoplanet WASP-79b, located 780 light-years away. The planet orbits precariously close to a star that is much hotter than our sun. The planet is larger than Jupiter, and its very deep, hazy atmosphere sizzles at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit -- the temperature of molten glass. [(Image: © NASA, ESA and L. Hustak (STScI)]

We can now add atmospheric craziness to WASP-79b’s already substantial exotic appeal.

Oh no you don't, I'm not fallin' for that again. It took me 2000 years to get back last time, and four tries to get back in the same decade I'd left.

I think we should send a ship full of Left wingers and lawyers to this planet to save it from man made global warming ASAP!

We might, too, if it weren’t for all our water.

The entire focus of space exploration needs to be on finding water planets that rotten people haven’t screwed up.
