well these planets certainly are
different from Earth welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 strangest
planets in space before we begin we
publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be looking
at planets that have us constantly
scratching our heads in the wildermann
making us question what we know or what
we think we know look at all the crazy
crap surrounding us look at that thing
right there well what the hell is that
thing you think you’re going to see that
kind of thing at school look at it just
lumbering around something defies all
logic that thing yeah Rick I get it
we’re surrounded by monsters number 10
HD 209 4 5 8 be an extrasolar or
exoplanets is defined as a planet that
orbits a star and is part of a solar
system other than our own HD 2:09 4 5 8
B otherwise known as Osiris is an
extrasolar planet located in the Pegasus
system and it’s pretty close to its star
and by pretty close we mean very close
so close in fact it’s literally wasting
away only about 4.3 million miles away
from the star hydrogen is evaporating
the planet gases are believed to be
trailing thousands of miles behind it of
course is with 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit
temperatures will do that
number 9 J 1407 be referred to as a
super Saturn this sub stellar companion
to the star called once wast
J 1407 has rings just like Saturn does
however J 1407 B’s rings are much larger
in diameter there are over 30 of them
and there’s 640 times as vast with a
radius of approximately 55 million miles
and this phenomenon still continues to
baffle scientists worldwide the
exoplanet or brown dwarf is about 420
light-years away but if it were in
Saturn’s place we’d see the rings from
Earth and they’d cover a pretty large
portion of the sky
while the planet itself would not
visible at all
number eight Leeza 581c this planet was
found by michelle maher and it orbits
with two other planets around a very
small star a super earth is an exoplanet
with a mass much higher than Earth and
this planet was the first one discovered
in the habitable zone of its system at
least on paper being in the habitable
zone means there may be a chance for
liquid water to be found on the planet
but it’s dependent on the distance from
the star at orbit
energy output and the planet’s
atmosphere although Gliese 581c happens
to be in that zone it orbits a red dwarf
star which is prone to unleash violent
solar flares that means the likelihood
of it being habitable is remote
additionally the planet seems to be
tidally locked which means one side of
it is forging hot and the other is
freezing with only a small habitable
section in between number seven PSR b16
20-20 6b aptly named after the oldest
person mentioned in the Bible Luke
Lucilla or PSR be 1620 – 26 B is one of
the oldest known exoplanets in the
universe at roughly twelve point seven
billion years old which is only one
billion years after the Big Bang a
billion years is still a billion years
though it is a relatively short time in
the grand scheme of things found in the
center of a globular cluster of stars
that is a spherical formation of stars
bound together by gravity this planet
perplexes scientists as it believes that
planets didn’t have the necessary
materials to form that soon after the
Big Bang yes there Methuselah is
upsetting the applecart of knowledge
number 6 tress to be also known as
Kepler 1b found in the Draco
constellation this is the darkest planet
in the known universe this exoplanet is
a gas giant and is classified as hot
Jupiter it reflects at most one percent
of light making it darker than cold
scientists aren’t exactly sure why it’s
so dark though one unconfirmed reason
could be due to an absence of reflected
clouds but not only is it dark the
planet is also sporting
that it’s so hot it has a faint red glow
which only adds to its ominous an eerie
composition number 5 HD 106 906 be at
the end of the universe give or take a
star system I know I came a long way
around to put it into a pop cultural
perspective this planet resembles
Gallifrey the home of a certain –
hearted time-traveling doctor so many
people seem to think so that a petition
was signed by tens of thousands to
officially change the name to Gallifrey
while it hasn’t been done yet
hope hasn’t been lost that it will
happen eventually
Sify aside by all accounts this planet
should not even exist it orbits its star
roughly 60 billion miles away which has
scientists scratching their heads as
this shouldn’t be possible to put things
into perspective that’s about 650 times
the distance between Earth and the Sun
number 4 Corot 7b even if we have the
means to travel these extreme distances
this is one planet you might want to
leave off your itinerary it dubs the
hell planet for a reason its parent star
looms so close but it covers the
majority of the sky it’s theorized to
have been a gas giant before its
migration and has since had its gases
vaporized by the Sun which only the
rocky core of the planet left plagued
Gliese 581c it’s believed to be tidally
locked with one side reaching up to
4,700 degrees Fahrenheit and the other
side hundreds of degrees below zero
number three Gliese a– 436 B located
around 30 light-years away from Earth
towards the Leo constellation is an ice
planet with a temperature of around 800
degrees Fahrenheit wait what
yep you heard that right roughly the
size of Neptune the surface of the
planet is covered entirely in ice as
well as probably helium and hydrogen yet
is constantly on fire astronomers
predict due to the nature of the hot ice
that it’s able to remain solid due to
the planets high gravity which allows
the ice to stay in a solid state still
an image of burning ice is a tough thing
to wrap your head around oh look at that
and now we have a burning ice number two
Kepler 438 be when this planet’s
discovery was announced in 2015 it
generated a lot of excitement as it was
dubbed a second earth unfortunately that
does not mean we can just pack up and
leave as it is still 470 light-years
away located in the constellation Lyra
in simpler terms with our current
technology and fastest spacecraft it
would take some 2 million years to get
there so yes not going to happen anytime
soon despite it having the highest
confirmed Earth similarity index as of
early 2017 guess we’ll just have to
settle for Mars number one 55 Cancri E a
planet that’s 1/3 diamond you say count
us in although its surface temperature
can reach around 3100 degrees Fahrenheit
it’s still awesome to picture a planet
with a surface of solid diamonds here’s
a good one physically hot although this
isn’t 100% confirmed it’s been theorized
that the planet is composed of mostly
carbon and due to the pressure and heat
from its parent star and the planets
interior its mass has been compressed
into Diamond twice the size of Earth the
total value of the planet is worth
twenty six point nine non million
dollars which is 385 quadrillion times
more than the Earth’s GDP sign us up
when they crack the hole light speed
travel and not burning to death and
extreme heat sing
oh I thought it was further away I guess
this one’s a little small do you agree
