Показать описание
AI Fact of the day:
Gliese 436b, known as the "burning ice" planet, is an extraordinary exoplanet characterized by its paradoxical features. It orbits extremely close to its parent star, resulting in scorching temperatures despite its potentially icy composition. What makes it even more remarkable is its unique form of "hot ice," a state of matter where hydrogen and oxygen ions move independently within the crystal lattice structure. Tidally locked like the Moon to Earth, one side is in perpetual daylight, while the other remains in darkness. Categorized as a sub-Neptune, Gliese 436b's distinct attributes continue to captivate astronomers and planetary scientists.
