Located in the constellation Vulpecula in the northern sky - also known as the little fox, this planet, like Earth, looks blue and for similar reasons. However, while Earth looks blue because the blue spectrum of the Sun's light is scattered about by air molecules, on this planet, the glassy silicate particles scatter the blue light spectrum.
63 Light Years Away: It Rains Glass
The planet called HD 189733b is a beautiful azure blue. But this planet is 63 light years away and the atmosphere is a scorching 1,000C. And it rains glass there.....but, sideways, mind you, because of the 7,000km-per-hour winds. So it's not exactly a relaxing scene, even if you could get there.
This huge gas giant is located 600 trillion kilometres from Earth, but its environment would not be compatible with life, with its extremely hot glass rain and scorching temperatures. So essentially, it's a right deadly place.
