In a world terrifyingly alike your own, there are things in our Cosmos you would love to forget about, but they are simply unforgettable. Let me take your minds on a journey of a few Celestial Objects that are known for their weird quirks and powerful lasting effects on the human brain in my world.

The Undead Exoplanet’s

There are some worlds, that are quite literally, “The living Dead”. Orbiting the star, PSR B1257+12 unsettlingly known as “Lich”, are three exoplanets (which are planets outside our solar system), These Zombie worlds, individually known as ‘poltergeist’, ‘Draugr’ and ‘Phobetor, exist in one of the most uninhabitable, terrifying corners of the universe and the reason for that is quite simple. ‘Lich’, their Star, is a ‘Pulsar’, An Undead Star, that constantly leaks horrifying quantities of electromagnetic radiation from its core. Such stars are even forced to be the possible source of ‘Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays’, this cosmic bombardment of radiation from the undead stars core, saturates each of its orbiting Zombie planets, meaning that if you were to step foot on anyone of them, you would essentially, be microwaved alive.

Death By a Thousand Cuts

If you think undead exoplanets are bad, well, there’s a planet where your death would be so violent, it gives a whole new meaning to the Chinese tortue, Lingchi. Otherwise known by death by a thousand cuts. The Extrasolar planet, HD 189733 b, is Beset by winds so frightening they are difficult to even comprehend. With Wind speeds at 5400 miles per hour, these winds blow across the entire planet seven times the speed of sound. And over 30 times faster than hurricane Katrina. But before you think your death would come at the hands of being blown into something solid and spiky at such speeds, the winds alone would not cause your death. You would meet your end, when they combine with something much, much worse.

With silicate rich clouds teeming in the skies and close proximity to its host Star, this planet, rains a lot. And when it does, it rains, molten glass blown by the Mach 7 winds, this molten glass rains sideways and would rip your body to shreds in a hail of razor blades.

The Planet That Rains Molten Iron

Perhaps, more frightening, is the exoplanet Ogle TR56b, The planet that rains molten iron. The most distant planet in the RA 19h 0m 0s | Dec -25° 0′ 0″ coordinates, Ogle TR56b is known to be theorized in your world to have clouds made not from water, but from iron atoms. One of the few differences between my world and your world is that this is confirmed. So whilst being torn to shreds by molten glass might disturb you, just imagine being encased in a downpour of of molten iron, sealing you in a distorted Pompeii like statue, for all of eternity.

Well that’s all I’ve got for today, next time I will be getting into more planets, and reveal something that’s theoretical in your world and true in my world. One of your worlds biggest mysteries, one of my worlds biggest truths.
