00:00What if I told you there's a planet where it literally rains glass? Meet HD 189733 b,
00:09one of the weirdest planets ever discovered. Located about 64 light years from Earth,
00:16this giant blue world looks beautiful. But it's actually a nightmare. Powerful winds blow at over
00:245,000 miles per hour, carrying tiny glass particles across the planet. Imagine a sandstorm made of sharp
00:32glass moving faster than a jet plane. Temperatures can reach over 1,000 degrees Celsius, making it
00:40completely uninhabitable. Scientists say its deep blue color comes from silicate particles in the
00:46atmosphere. Beautiful from afar, but deadly up close. This is one of the strangest worlds we've
00:52ever found in space.
