 The planet with the rain of stones and oceans of lava 

The planet K2-141-B is raining rocks, the lava ocean is one kilometer deep and the wind is four times faster than the speed of sound.
Astronomer T. Jian Newgen told "This is a very interesting planet with extreme weather, mineral rain, snow, and strong winds."
"It's not a good place to live, but it's a lot of fun to study," says fellow professor Nicholas Cowan.
A team of Canadian and Indian astronomers has published a new study of the planet K2-114-B. It is a rocky planet like our Earth.

Planet K2-114-B is 202 light-years away from us and is present in a constellation called Aquarius.
This destructive planet orbits its star so fast that it completes a year in seven hours.
The star is an orange dwarf, meaning it has a much lower temperature than the sun and is so dim that it cannot be seen from Earth.
Scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology in Calcutta, York University in Canada, and McGill University say it is a lava planet.
It is also a super-Earth because although its size is not much larger than our Earth, its mass is five times that of our Earth.
That's why the planet's gravity is five times greater than Earth's.
Although K2-141-B was discovered in 2018, researchers have now been able to go and find out about its features.
Although K2-141-B revolves around its star in a matter of hours, it does not revolve around its orbit like Earth.
This means that two-thirds of the planet that is always in the direction of its star is always there during the day and the temperature there reaches 3000 degrees Celsius. While in some parts it is always night and the temperature drops to minus 200 degrees.
Due to such different conditions, astronomers claim rock showers here.
Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl.
Water evaporates on Earth and goes into the atmosphere where its clouds form. Rain replenishes lakes and rivers, and this process is repeated.
The same thing happens with K2-141-b, but with rocks!
"We have to keep in mind that everything on this planet is made of rock," the researchers said. During the day, the heat is so high that the rocks evaporate.
This is strange but also interesting.
But on the other hand, it is so cold that there is no atmosphere on this side. And everything solidifies. '
Researchers say that due to the hot and cold sides of the planet, strong winds blow at the speed of sound. And sometimes they reach 5,000 miles per hour.
Professor Cowan says that these winds rapidly cool the rock vapor and start forming rock droplets.
"You have a hail of rocks and a sea of ​​lava below," he added.
Professor Newgen says that K2. By researching 141B we can learn about the origin of our earth.
"The lava planets tell us about an important stage in planetary evolution," says Professor Cowan. All the rocky planets, including Earth, began as a melting earth.

Seven beautiful animals we cannot see now

Seven beautiful animals we cannot see now We may think of the extinction of a species as a sudden but occasional event, but the reality is that extinction is alarmingly normal. According to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF), about 10,000 species become extinct each year. But the WWF says the exact number is not known because we do not yet know how many species there are around the world. Let's take a look at some of the animals that became extinct from  this planet and also see which of them came back in a surprising and unexpected way. 1: Yangtze River Dolphin Scientific name: Lipotes vexillifer Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Infraorder: Cetacea Clade: Delphinida Superfamily: Lipotoidea Family: Lipotidae Genus: Lipotes Miller, 1918  Species: L. vexillifer  The Yangtze River dolphin, which became extinct in 2006, was a pale gray mammal that looked relatively less powerful than its cousins ​​floating in the ocean. Beneath...

What are the Secrets of Longevity(long life) of Blue Zone People???

Secrets of Longevity(long life) of Blue Zone People There are some areas in the world where people live a very long life. One of them is a town surrounded by rain forests and beaches famous for surfing. The two territories are islands in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Another town is located in the last part of the Algerian Sea in Japan, and the fifth place in the series is a small town in the US state of California, which means beautiful hill. If you want a long and healthy life then these are probably the best areas to be born. Blue Zone Nicoya in Costa Rica, Sardinia in Italy, Ikaria in Greece, Okinawa in Japan and Lomo Linda in California These areas are called the Blue Zone, where they are ten times more likely to live to be 100 years old than the average in the United States. The term blue zone was first coined by Italian epidemiologist Gianni Pace and Belgian demographer Michael Pauline. The two men were researching death rates in Sardinia. During their res...

WHAT BIRTH ORDER SAYS ABOUT PERSONALITY?

How Birth Order Affects Personality? In spite of sharing genes and environments, siblings are often not as similar in nature as one might think. But why these differences are produced? Frank Sulloway author of Born to Rebel says, " Birth order only explains a small part of who we are, but personality changes definitely exist between siblings."He further says,  "These are the roles siblings adopt that lead to differences in behavior. And parents tend to reinforce these roles, whether they realize it or not. Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychotherapist and founder of individual psychology, suggested that birth order leads to differences in siblings. He said  that a child's personality, intelligence, and success depend on his or her birth order or number in family. Adler said the order of birth of a child affects his personality. The reason is that parents treat younger and older children differently He also believes that comparing children to others makes them feel...
