Discovery of an outer planet with clouds of sapphires

There are  thousands of planets outside our solar system, but what is most  interesting to scientists is finding a planet with an atmosphere that  could be the key to studying it more deeply

By analyzing the atmosphere, the planet's temperature can be determined, there pressure is, as well as many other properties, in addition to the possibility of finding unexpected things.

More than 870 light-years away, the researchers found a star-like system of only one planet, about twice the size of Jupiter, 1.8 million miles from its star

 The discovered  planet "WASP-12b" belongs to the category of "hot-Jupiter" planets,  because of its proximity to the star, which makes the temperature on the  surface very high

 Scientists have  been able to observe the light emanating from the star system, passing  through the atmosphere of the planet, noting that the light is scattered  in specific directions, in the same way that clouds scattered sunlight  falling on the ground

This indicates that the outer planet contains the clouds, with liquid drops at a temperature of 2226 ° C. In  this case, the planet's cover appears to contain the metal corunde  compound, which is embedded in the sapphire stone on the ground, leading  to the conclusion that WASP-12b contains rubies of sapphire
