 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.

which scientists born on June 4??

Scientists born on June 4 Robert F. Furchgott Born June 4, 1916; Died May 19, 2009 at the age of 92. Robert Francis Furchgitt was an American pharmacologist who shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (along with Louis J. Ignacio and Fred Murad) for his discovery that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Is. Their joint work revealed a brand new mechanism by which the blood vessels in the body relax and dilate. Nitric oxide (NO), produced by a cell, works by penetrating membranes and regulating the function of other cells. Nerves and hormones are known as signal carriers, but this discovery was a completely new signaling principle in the biological system. Sir Christopher Cockerell Born June 4, 1910 Died June 1, 1999 at the age of 88 The English inventor of the hovercraft. He was an electronics engineer at the Marconi Company (1935-50) where he worked on aircraft carriers and radar. Then he started a boat rental business. ...

6 Misconceptions About Coronavirus Treatment

  6 Misconceptions About Coronavirus Treatment Coronavirus is spreading very fast in different countries of the world and so far no proven cure has been found. Unfortunately, coronavirus treatment continues to be treated online. Different people are giving different suggestions for the treatment of coronavirus. In an Africa country a religious leader asked his followers to drink Dettol for coronavirus treatment. As a result about 80 people died. Some tips are useless but harmless but some are very dangerous.  Lets look what science says about some common misconceptions. 1-Garlic A number of posts have been shared on the social networking site Facebook suggesting that eating garlic can help prevent infections. The World Health Organization says that although garlic is "a healthy food with some antimicrobial properties", there is no evidence that eating garlic protects people from the coronavirus. This type of treatment is not harmful to health unless you trust it and ignore th...

Top 7 rivers where people can search gold

Top 7 rivers where people can search for gold  Most of the rivers of the world have gold deposits in their paths and contain dissolved gold particles in their waters. Due to geological changes many rivers still contain gold particles and large lumps in them. The race for gold search which began in the 19th century is now over. But there are still some places near rivers where ordinary people can find gold. Such rivers abound in the United States, and on some shores, ordinary people can try their luck for a golden treasure for a small fee. Earlier, the largest gold bar in California was discovered by an ordinary person. Many of the world's rivers are still famous for gold. The list includes many American rivers. 1.Reed Gold Mine, Charlotte, USA The Reed Gold Mine is located in Cabaret County, Midland, North Carolina, and is the first documentary commercial gold mine in the United States. In 1799, Conrad Reid found a 17-pound yellow "rock" in Little Meadow Creek. For thre...
