The planet Smertrios orbits its yellow dwarf star surround by a blue halo that represents water in its atmosphereAstronomers may have discovered the presence of water in the atmosphere of a blisteringly hot planet that is also one of the most"metal" worlds ever spotted. The planet's formation remains a mystery, one that could be solved by the discovery.," meaning the "Purveyor" or"The Provider," worshiped as the god of war in the Gaelic tradition.
"The composition of the planet seems not to be compatible with current formation scenarios that we have for hot gas giants, and it is still a mystery to this day," said Ali Rafi."This signifies the importance of observing the planet’s atmosphere as it could help reveal the planet's formation history through its atmospheric properties such as its metallicity and carbon to oxygen ratio.
Usually, on hot gas giants that are tidally locked, the massive difference in temperature between the hot dayside and the cooler nightside creates extremely fast atmospheric winds that can rage as fast as 5,000 mph . "We need additional observations to confirm any of these scenarios or even if there are any other alternatives," Ali Rafi added.
