Some burn with iron rain, others slice with glass storms, and even our nearest neighbours turn hostile. These exoplanets remind us that survival beyond Earth may not just be difficult, it may be impossible.

Would you survive these planets? 6 horrifying worlds that kill with fire, glass and crushing pressure

Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) challenge earlier theories about a 2020 cosmic event, where a planet was thought to have been passively engulfed by its expanding host star. New findings suggest the planet’s own movements played a key role in its destruction.


James Webb Telescope locates exoplanet that is destroying itself and NASA is trying to understand why

Astronomers from MIT have identified a rocky exoplanet, BD+05 4868 Ab, situated around 140 light-years away, that is breaking apart under extreme heat. The planet orbits its host star every 30.5 hours at a distance much closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Astronomers have identified the first confirmed exoplanet that orbits its stars at a 90-degree angle, known as a polar orbit. The planet, 2M1510 (AB) b, moves perpendicular to the orbital plane of its host stars.

Astronomers have obtained detailed images of two protoplanets forming around the PDS 70 star system, located 370 light-years away in the Centaurus constellation. These planets are still surrounded by rings of gas and dust, where moons may be forming.

NASA has confirmed over 5,000 exoplanets, ranging from scorching gas giants to icy water worlds, some with the potential to support life.
