Bizarre Exoplanets That Shouldn't Exist

Some exoplanets orbit so close their surfaces melt into lava oceans. K2-141b cycles rock vapor into molten stone rain. Super-Earths reach ten times Earth's mass with deep oceans or diamond crusts. WASP-12b is stretched into an egg by tidal gravity. Kepler-10b orbits every 20 hours in eternal daylight. Over 6,042 confirmed exoplanets reveal worlds from blistering greenhouses to carbon-rich diamond planets. JWST now identifies molecules in their atmospheres, refining what habitability means. #exoplanets #space #astronomy #jwst #alienworlds
