Horrifying ‘roasted planet’ has ‘torture’ event every 111 days where Nasa says ‘nightmare alien world boils to 1,100C’ AN alien world "suffers star-grazing torture" every 111 days as its fiery sun boils the planet to a hellish 1,093C.
This brutal event has led to Nasa branding it "the roasted planet", as the space agency revealed the horrifying conditions on distant HD 80606 b.
At its closest point, the star would seem 30 times as big as our Sun if viewed from the cloud-tops of the scorched alien planet.
Due to the bizarre orbit, HD 80606 b gets as close as 2.7 million miles to its star – or 81.8 million away.
And then there's the 6,800C planet that's "hotter than the Sun" – and Nasa said it "could be another circle of hell".
