Gliese 436b is a Neptune-sized planet located 33 light years from Earth toward the Leo constellation. It orbits a red dwarf star which is cooler, smaller, and less luminous than our Sun. It’s a whopping 22 Earth masses big and orbits its star once every 2.5 days!!! But that’s not the craziest part. The ice on this planet is literally burning at 980F (526C). This is so hot that liquid water can’t exist. On Earth, it would just evaporate off. But how does this planet have BURNING ICE?! Watch to the end to find out! #spacetok #astronomy #exoplanet #science #universe
