The universe never ceases to amaze us with its strange wonders. It’s home to planets that surpass our wildest imagination, from boiling hot planets to planets with flowing molten iron. NASA continues to discover more of these fascinating worlds. Today, we will uncover some of the most mind-blowing planets discovered so far.

Let’s start with J1407B, Saturn on steroids, located 434 light-years from Earth. This gas giant is massive, with a suspected 40 Jupiter masses. What’s even more astounding is its ring system, 30 rings, each tens of millions of kilometers in diameter collectively forming a ring system that is 200 times bigger than Saturn’s.

Moving on to WDJ-504B, located 57 light-years from us. This planet, about the size of Jupiter, has an unusual pink hue. It’s relatively young, only 160 million years old, and is still losing the heat from its formation, causing it to glow dim purple.

In the constellation Cygnus, Kepler-7db radiates a red-hot intensity with a surface temperature of nearly 7,000 degrees Celsius. This planet, once a gas giant, lost much of its atmosphere when its star evolved into a red giant, leaving only its iron core.

GJ1214b is another strange planet. With a mass greater than Earth, this aqua world named “waterworld” despite a lack of a solid surface has a strange form of plasma water at a constant supercritical liquid form due to the extreme pressure and high temperature.

But the most unusual planet thus far is PSR J1719-1438 b, a planet made entirely out of diamond. This planet, located about 4,000 light-years from Earth, has a diameter five times that of Earth, a density 25 times greater, and is incredibly high in carbon content, with diamond estimated to cover up to 90% of the planet’s surface.

The universe is vast and filled with countless strange and amazing treasures. These planets are only a fraction of what we know, and we can only imagine the thousands more waiting to be discovered. It’s no question that the cosmos will continue to baffle us and leave us in awe, but that’s why we keep exploring—to uncover its never-ending mysteries.
