Top 10 Most insane Planets Ever found.
We all have fantasized living in a different world than ours. we all have thought about what it is like to be on a planet having so different organics than ours.welcome to our list of most insane planets ever found, Tighten your seat belts its gonna be bumpy ride.
Note:- All planets in this list are confirmed by NASA.
Let's Start with our number 10
10.J1407B(Super saturn)
Described as "SUPER SATURN' the Planet J1407B is like one big Optical Illusion.this planet is located 434 light-years away and has mass of about 40 times the size of Jupiter and has 37 rings surrounding it which span nearly 120 million kilometers(200 times the size of Saturn's rings).
However,These rings maybe the formations of moons-process which has never been observed outside the Solar system.
9.HD106906 b
This Exoplanet is one of the planets that shouldn't "Exist". According to our planetary laws.It contradicts nearly all the laws due to its size and distance from its star.
The giant planet is 650 times the distance from earth to the sun and is 11 times the size of Jupiter.
Despite of all the average surface temperature is staggering 1500 degree Celsius even being so distant from its Host star.
8.TrES-2b
The gas giant known as TrES-2b is the darkest planet ever found.
It is so dark that it barely reflects any light even less than the darkest acrylic paint.
It is just a distance of 3 million miles from its Host star and yet it is the Darkest planet ever found.The only red rings it makes which is due to burning of gases on the planet's surface.
7. 55 Cancri e
Just 40 Light Years from earth lies the planet which is heaven for Ladies because this planet is made up of diamond and graphite. 55 cancri e is twice as large as Earth but its mass is about 8 times than of earth this because of what it contains. this planet is made up of carbon and thanks to the extreme pressure and temperature maximum surface is covered with diamond.
but before you start packing with a drill let me tell you that even if you were able to get there and bring as much diamond as you can back to earth it will decrease the market value of diamond on earth resulting that you will be getting nothing.
6.Gliese 436 b
Gliese 436 b is a massive contradiction. The Neptune sized planet has a small rocky core, followed by the icy exterior which takes up the majority of its size.
On the top of that this planet has a huge hydrogen cloud around 50 times of size of planet surrounding it which leaves a trail from its orbit.
Furthermore, It has Temperature of around 439 degrees Celsius which is why it has been nicknamed as the "burning ice planet" and is slowly causing it to evaporate.
5. Gliese 1214 b
The steamy water world is "like no planet we know of" . A huge fraction of its mass is made up of water but it is not like the fictitious "Miller's planet" we saw in the movie "Interstellar".
This water world have deep oceans but at high temperatures and pressures so it could be an ocean of " superfluid water".
4.WASP-12b
WASP-12 b is the hottest exoplanet to be ever discovered with an average temperature temperature of 2250 degrees Celsius.
This is because it just orbits 2,115,000 miles away from its host star.1/44 times of distance from earth to sun and it just takes over a day to complete one revolution.
but it is slowly "being eaten up" by the star and is egg shaped.
3. WASP-17b
Wasp-17b is unique in the sense that it is the first planet ever found that orbits the opposite direction of its host star.
furthermore it is the second largest planet ever found but has the mass 1/2 of Jupiter.
2. HD 188753
HD 188753 is a first known planet to reside in a "Triple star system"
This means it orbits a star,which orbits a star, which orbits another star. (quite insane?)
This planet could be home to most beautiful sunsets/sunrises. A triple sunset could be so adorable to see.
It is the most complex planetary gravitation system ever found here is how its orbit looks like.

1. Gliese 581 c
Gliese 581 c hit the headlines when its discovery was announced in 2007.
The super earth a massive five times the size of our planet- was one of the first to be announced as a potentially hospitable planet.
However, life on it would not be as easy as it seems because it is a "Tidally locked planet" which means one side of it always faces its host star and the other remains in darkness so, life lies on the equator of these two zones.
