Ever imagine molten glass raining down sideways? Well, it’s not unheard of in our universe!!

Located 64 light-years away from Earth, in the constellation Vulpecula, lies one of the most bizarre exoplanets, namely HD 189733 b. It has an extreme atmosphere drenched in intense heat and raging winds. HD 189733 b is a gas giant located very close to its star with an orbital period of 2.2 days. Its blue color comes from the light scattered from silicate-filled clouds. The temperature is around 1000 degrees Celsius, which is enough to cause silicate particles to condense. Hence, the glass takes the form of rain, and the wind speed of 5000mph leads the rain to pour sideways.
