It&#8217;s a gas giant almost twice as big as Jupiter orbiting extremely close to its star\u201350 times closer than the Earth does around the sun. WASP-121b is so close to its star that tidal forces have locked its rotation in a &#8220;resonance&#8221;: the planet always shows the same face to its star, like the moon to the Earth. Therefore, one side of WASP-121b constantly bakes in light whereas the other is in perpetual night. This difference causes huge variations in temperature across the planet. It can be more than 3,000\u00b0C on one side and drop 1,500\u00b0C on the other.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2025-02-reveals-violent-years.html\">Go to Source<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: <\/p>\n<div>The latest science news on astronomy, astrobiology,  and space exploration from Phys.org.<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>SPACEPERIUM CORPS &#038; RESEARCH CONTRIBUTORS<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Please comment below with research and links for fellow members to conduct further research into this area.<br \/>\nYou must be registered and signed into SPACEPERIUM BLOG in order to leave your comment and get credited!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study reveals the structure of violent winds 1,300 light years away The planet WASP-121b is extreme.
