Brief Summary
The video presents a compilation of bizarre and fascinating astronomical discoveries. These include a diamond planet, a glass-storm-ridden exoplanet, massive water and alcohol clouds, a zombie star, a hexagonal storm on Saturn, a hand-shaped nebula, and an impossibly empty void in space.
- Diamond planet made of carbon.
- Exoplanet with glass shard storms.
- Immense water and alcohol clouds in space.
- Zombie star defying physics by repeatedly exploding.
- Hexagonal storm on Saturn's north pole.
- Hand-shaped nebula resembling the "Hand of God."
- The Great Nothing void with significantly fewer galaxies than expected.
Diamond Planet
Astronomers have identified an exoplanet named 55 Cancri e, which is twice the size of Earth and primarily composed of carbon. This composition suggests that the planet is essentially a giant diamond.
Glass Storms on Exoplanet HD189733b
The exoplanet HD189733b features extremely high-speed winds, clocking in at 4,000 mph. These winds carry shards of glass horizontally across the planet's skies, creating perpetual and dangerous storms.
Giant Water and Alcohol Clouds
A massive water cloud, located 12 billion light-years away, contains 140 trillion times more water than all of Earth's oceans combined. Additionally, astronomers have found an alcohol cloud large enough to produce 400 trillion pints of beer.
Zombie Star
A "zombie star" has been discovered that explodes multiple times. This behavior defies current understanding of physics, as stars are not expected to survive multiple explosions.
Hexagonal Storm on Saturn
Saturn's north pole features a persistent hexagonal storm that spans thousands of miles. This storm has been spinning for decades with seemingly endless energy.
Hand of God Nebula
NASA has observed a nebula shaped like a hand, stretching across 150 light-years. This formation is reminiscent of a hand reaching across galaxies and has been dubbed the "Hand of God."
The Great Nothing Void
A void in space, known as the Great Nothing, contains a surprisingly low number of galaxies. According to physical estimations, it should contain over 2,000 galaxies, but it only contains about 60, making its existence statistically improbable.
