Scientists Uncover a Planet 212 Light-Years Away from Earth!


NASA’s James Webb Telescope recently made a groundbreaking discovery — an extraordinary planet located 212 light-years away from Earth, boasting clouds made of sand. This peculiar planet, named ‘Fluffy’ or WASP-107b, resembles a realm straight out of science fiction.

This exoplanet, comparable in size to Jupiter, showcases one of the most peculiar atmospheres known to date. Astronomers were astonished to identify silicate sand clouds, water, and sulfur dioxide capable of generating acid rain within its atmosphere.


However, what truly baffled experts was the absence of methane detected by NASA’s $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This anomaly hints at an unknown mechanism on WASP-107b for heat dispersion within its dynamic atmosphere.

Researchers at the KU Leuven Institute of Astronomy in the Netherlands noted that despite the planet producing sand droplets rather than water, its cloud formation system closely mirrors that of Earth’s.

While prior studies identified diverse cloud formations, this is the inaugural analysis delving into chemical compositions by astronomers.


WASP-107b orbits a star slightly cooler and less massive than the Sun, yet exhibits lower density compared to Jupiter, allowing for deeper analysis.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924. High school girls wearing gas masks marching in a parade in Japan in 1944.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
