BADGE ICE PLANE (GLİESE 436 B)

A planet burning with ice. It has a steamy atmosphere and is completely covered with burning ice, yes, with burning ice! This planet, which features the characteristics of a Neptune-sized planet, was one of the strangest events in our search for life on Earth.

This planet in 2007, the radial velocity method, is the smallest planet we have found, determined by the stars in the star system, determined by the wobbling of mass gravity. The other feature is that it does not resemble any planet previously found. It is turning 30 or so light years away from Earth and orbiting a small star named GJ 436, discovered in 2002 by radial velocity method. In research; Neptune size is a planet, the approximate width is determined to be 50,000 km. So roughly four times as much as our Earth.

Due to the observed diameter and mass, the planet's atmosphere is assumed to be hydrogen and helium. The researchers think on the planet that an exotic form of water prevails. Though the main star is much colder than the Sun, the orbit around the star of the planet is 13 times closer to Mercury's orbit around the Sun. This causes the planet's temperature to be high. A tour around the star of the planet lasts 2 days and 15.5 hours. The surface temperature of the planet, consisting of core and rock, was calculated as 712 K (439 ° C). Despite the high surface temperature, due to the effect of pressure caused by massive gravity, the water solidifies on the surface and is found in the form of hot ice. It is estimated that half of the planetary mass is made up of this ice mantle.

The high pressure inside the planet, despite hundreds of degrees of heat, has the potential to push water into the solid form by compressing the water. '' Ice 7 '' and '' Ice 10 '' with such species as '' hot ice '', in such conditions can turn into many different species. Under very high pressures, water turns into a bucket that is more dense than ice, as carbon undergoes extreme pressure. We can think of the picture that will emerge when we bring Neptune away by 1 to 13 of Mercury's distance from the Sun in terms of the possibility of reviving the planet. The water, on the planet, the star is not expected to concentrate so much at this distance; So the planet is thought to move towards the inner orbit from the outer orbits.
