Hot Jupiter Has Titanium Skies
Andrew Masterson, Cosmos Magazine
Even if it were possible to reach the planet known as WASP-19b which it isn't, being 800 light years away it would be most unpleasant place to visit.Some of the reasons for this are obvious. WASP-19b is a hot Jupiter, large and so close to its parent star that a single orbit takes just 19 hours. Measurements taken by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Germany have established its atmospheric temperature at 2000 degrees Celsius.
