Have you ever wondered if there were other strange planets in the Milky Way? Have you ever wondered if there was a planet so close to its sun, it’s getting torn apart? The doomed planet Wasp-12b, is one of the oddest planets in the galaxy.

Wasp-12b is a gas giant abundant with carbon and larger than Jupiter, discovered in 2008 by NASA’s Spitzer telescope. It is extremely close to its host star, Wasp-12, only 2.1 miles away from it. In fact, it is so close that the planet is being pulled apart because of the sun’s gravity, making it look like an egg. The planet is obviously immensely hot, with temperatures reaching over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes around 1 day to complete an orbit around its star. Unlike its proximity to its star, Wasp-12b is close to 1,393 light-years away from Earth.

In conclusion, Wasp-12b isn’t a normal planet. Its proximity to its star made it look like an egg and its temperatures are hotter than some stars. Therefore, Wasp-12b is one of the most unique planets in our galaxy.
