An amazing discovery in one of the planet .. rain of precious stones and minerals!

For the first time, astronomers took photographs of the night side of the hot planet Jupiter, and due to special conditions formed on this side of the planet, scientists do not rule out the presence of clouds of iron and corundum, as a mineral that forms the basis for sapphire.

The results of a study published in the journal Nature Astronomy said the dark side of the planet is cold enough to allow clouds of iron vapor and corundum vapor, the mineral that forms the basis of sapphire.

When these clouds cross the boundary between the two hemispheres of the planet, a strange rain of liquid gems falls.

And the website of the Russia Today channel quoted a researcher at the American Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Thomas Michal Evans, as saying that the temperature difference between the light and dark sides of this hot Jupiter was higher than previously assumed by planetary scientists.

Astronomers tried to study the dark side of this planet for a long time, but they always failed to achieve this, because the night side produces 10 times less light and heat than the day side, and scientists were unable to measure the exact temperature on the dark side of the hot Jupiter and know the components and behavior of its atmosphere.

Because of the large difference in temperature, several strange phenomena can occur simultaneously, including winds with speeds of more than 18,000 km / h, and strange clouds of metal fumes such as corundum, perovskite, and forsterite, and scientists hypothesized that because of these clouds Rains of liquid gems and drops of frozen minerals are falling on the planet.
