The US space agency NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory released shocking details of exoplanet horrors. An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. PSR B1257+12 c, also named Poltergeist, is an extrasolar planet approximately 2,300 light-years away in the constellation of Virgo.
It was one of the first planets ever discovered outside the Solar System, and is one of three pulsar planets known to be orbiting the pulsar, or “undead star”, PSR B1257+12.
In a blog post, NASA wrote: “These doomed worlds were among the first and creepiest to be discovered as they orbit an undead star known as a pulsar.
“Pulsar planets like Poltergeist and its neighbouring worlds, Phobetor and Draugr, are consumed with constant radiation from the star’s core.
“Nothing but the undead can subsist in this most inhospitable corner of the galaxy.”
Another shocking NASA discovery found “inferno” alien planets burning at an “average temperature hotter than the Sun’s surface” at 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or 6,800 Celsius.
Kepler-70b is an exoplanet discovered orbiting the subdwarf B star Kepler-70. It is also the hottest known exoplanet as of mid-2017, with a surface temperature of several thousand Kelvin.
NASA wrote: “Kepler-70b (a.k.a. KOI-55) could well be another circle of hell with an average temperature hotter than the Sun’s surface.
“It used to be Jupiter-sized until it spent some time inside its now-dead star.”
It added: “This is a trip that destroys most planets, but left this one a Freddy Krueger-like burned world smaller than Earth.
“At about 12,000 degrees F (6,800 C), it is one of the hottest planets discovered.”
“In fact, the planet itself is evaporating, soon to be another victim.”

HD 189733 b is another extrasolar planet, approximately 64.5 light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation of Vulpecula.
The planet was discovered orbiting the star HD 189733 A on October 5, 2005, when astronomers in France observed the planet transiting across the face of the star.
In a blog post, NASA wrote: “This far-off blue planet may look like a friendly haven – but don’t be deceived! Weather here is deadly.”
It continues: “The planet’s cobalt blue colour comes from a hazy, blow-torched atmosphere containing clouds laced with glass.”
“Howling winds send the storming glass sideways at 5,400 mph (2km/s), whipping all in a sickening spiral. It’s death by a million cuts on this slasher planet!”
