 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.

Tips for a healthy home environment

Five easy ways to make our home environment healthy There are 7 million deaths every year in the world as a result of air pollution and it does not seem possible to get rid of this situation. Nine out of ten people can avoid a variety of diseases, including stroke, lung cancer and respiratory diseases, with the help of easy ways to breathe in a healthy atmosphere. Microscopic particles of pollution are always around us and can harm us, especially if we are indoors. According to a study by the US Environmental Protection Agency, indoor pollution is often two to five times higher than outdoor pollution. According to Matthew S. Johnson, Chief Science Officer at Air Labs, indoor air is as polluted as outdoor but also adds other pollutants inside the house, including materials used in house construction, items used for cooking and cleaning. We can improve your indoor environment by some simple tips, some of them are as follows: 1.Arrangement for the entrance of fresh air Contaminated air st...

WHO's Coronavirus(Covid-19) Myth busters

WHO's Coronavirus(Covid-19) Myth busters 1.Effect of 5G mobile networks on COVID-19 Viruses cannot travel on radio waves/mobile networks.As COVID-19 is also caused by viruses so it is not caused by any mobile network as 5G,4G. COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. People can also be infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their eyes, mouth or nose. 2.Effect of Sunlight or Heat on COVID-19 Sunlight or heat having temperature greater than 25 ℃ may not stop COVID-19. You can catch COVID-19, no matter how sunny or hot the weather is. Countries with hot weather have reported cases of COVID-19. To protect yourself, make sure you clean your hands frequently and thoroughly and avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose. 3.The Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) is not Permanent Most of the people who catch COVID-19 can recover and eliminate the virus from their bodies. If you catch the disease, ...
