10 of the Weirdest Exoplanets Discovered So Far

The cosmos is vast and mysterious, with billions of stars, each potentially hosting planets of its own. As our technology advances, we’ve been able to detect and study exoplanets—planets outside our solar system—with increasing precision. Here, we’ll delve into ten of the most bizarre exoplanets discovered up to 2022, presenting them with analogies to help you grasp their peculiarities. J1407b:…

“Come here, then.” 

You froze as her words processed in your head. You hadn’t expected her to react positively. She wasn’t supposed to react like that. She was supposed to awkwardly scratch the back of her neck and tell you that, wow, that was really sweet, but she wasn’t really ready for anything, and you weren’t really her type. Except that was the Terranovian way to reject someone. Maybe it would’ve been a more realistic expectation to assume that Ellie would laugh at you, or maybe tell you to fuck off. 

She wasn’t supposed to tell you to come closer.

But she was waiting for you now, so you pushed the thoughts aside and shifted your weight forward, pulling your legs under you so you were balancing on your knees.

You hovered over her, the heels of your palms growing numb from holding you up.

“Do you need a written invitation or something?” she said once you’d stared down at her for a little too long. Her voice was softer, with a teasing edge. 

“Don’t be mean,” you said, blushing wildly. “I’m getting my nerve up. Give me a minute.” 

“You’re the weirdest girl I’ve ever met.”

“And you’re being remarkably unhelpful.” You weren’t sure why she was making you do all the work. You were getting steadily more flustered, your pulse rising and your heart crawling into your throat the longer you looked down at her.

She liked that, you realized with a start. She liked seeing you turn into a nervous wreck because of her, even if it meant waiting.

“Change your mind or something?” 

You shook your head. 

“So come kiss me.” It was barely a whisper, so quiet that you wouldn’t have heard it had you not been leaning over her. 

One of her hands shakily raised to brush a rogue piece of your hair behind your ear. Her touch lingered. Her fingers opened to glide through your hair, halting at the nape of your neck.

You shut your eyes and dipped your head. 

It was an innocent, tiny kiss, your closed lips barely brushing before you pulled back to gauge her reaction.

But before you could fully open your eyes, the hand that was cradling your neck pulled you back down. 

It was like a dam had broken. Your nervousness and anxiety about what you were doing—kissing your friend—faded into the background as your thoughts instead turned to the fingers tangled into your hair and the wet heat of her mouth against yours. 

Your hand splayed out on the pillow next to her head, balancing you as you dipped lower, tilted your head, and let her pry your lips open. The hand that wasn’t threaded through your hair slid up your shirt, running up your back and coming to rest between your shoulder blades, a pleasant, warm weight.

Slowly, you pressed into your hands and tried to maneuver your legs so that you were straddling her instead of doing that goofy kneeling position at her side, but one of your arms gave out and you pitched forward, accidentally knocking her teeth with yours. 

“Sorry!” you said quickly, pulling away and feeling horrified as you sat back on her thighs. 

Ellie just laughed. “It’s fine. That was pretty ambitious of you.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your arms are scrawny,” she said matter-of-factly. “I didn’t think you were going to last long up there anyway. No offense.”

“You don’t get to just say the foulest things to me and expect me not to be mad because you threw in a ‘no offense’,” you retorted. “And, for the record, my arms aren’t scrawny. I’m just genetically predisposed to be lean and have low muscle mass.” 

“Just—shut up,” she said. “Don’t you ever say something like ‘genetically predisposed’ in my bed again. That’s so stupid.” 

“You’re—”

She cut you off. “You can tell me all about how mean I am to you later. Now switch with me.” 

She flicked your elbow to emphasize her point, extracting her hand from under your shirt as she waited for you to get off her and lie down on the pillow.

You frowned as you flopped onto your back, feeling like you’d been demoted. You would have been fine. You could have done it—maybe not for long, but for a bit. You’d done it before. Fuck this shit. Also, if this was going the way you thought it was, you wanted to go first, not her.

But your frustration didn’t last for long, as when Ellie straddled you, gathered you up, and kissed you again, your mind went completely blank.

Things felt a little different with Ellie on top—like you were moving with more direction. Your kisses had long since turned sloppy, your hands twisted in the back of her shirt as you pulled her closer, closer, trying to drink her in.

The tips of her fingers were calloused, pleasantly rough against your skin as one hand ran up and down your side, careful to avoid the stitches. 

You heard her shift, but given that your eyes were closed and her tongue was in your mouth, you didn't bother to consider why. Then a hand wrapped around the non-stitched side of your waist and pulled you down the mattress until something hit the apex of your thighs, and you couldn’t stop that gasp that left your mouth.

The knee thing. Oh, my god, the knee thing. She was doing the knee thing. She was going to be the death of you. 

Ellie paused, your lips making an audible noise as they separated. You could see a sheen of wetness on her mouth. 

“Okay?” she whispered.

You nodded, but any pretense of appearing mentally present disintegrated as the hand on your waist tightened, rolling you roughly against her knee. 

The sound that left your lips was honestly and objectively very embarrassing—something between a yelp and a strangled gasp—but you decided to think about it later as Ellie leaned back down, her mouth pressing to your jaw and dragging down to your throat.

You keened, rocking down onto her as she passed over the sensitive part of your neck. She paused, her lips freezing before she sucked at the same spot again, this time slower and with more deliberation. 

You were a mess. All she’d done was kiss you and let you grind against her thigh with multiple layers of separation, and you were already falling apart underneath her, your hands desperately tangled in her shirt and your breathing frantic. 

Once her lips had trailed down to the curve where your shoulder met your neck, you tentatively fingered the hem of her shirt and began to pull it up. 

Wordlessly, she sat back and let you drag her shirt up, helping you once you got to her arms. 

“What?” she said once she’d gotten her head through the neckhole and tossed it off to the side.

Your mouth had been hanging open, so you shut it before you responded. “Uh. Nothing. You’re just—really pretty.” 

“Really pretty,” Ellie repeated drolly.

You covered your face with your hands. “What? Is that a crime?”

“Isn’t it?” said Ellie. 

You peeked through the gaps in your fingers. There was a smirk pulling at her lips.

“In Terranova,” she elaborated. “It is a crime, right?” 

“Oh, Christ. Can we not talk about that now?” 

She laughed.

Her fingers closed around your wrists, pulling them away from your face so you had to look at her dead-on. She leaned down, her lips brushing your pulse point.

“I’m just teasing,” she whispered into your ear, and you felt the sheets at the bottom of the bed bunch up as your toes curled. 

She kissed you again, her mouth parted and soft. Your hands wandered up and down her bare skin, pausing where you heard her gasp and dragging your thumbs across the peaks of her chest until her breath hitched.

It didn’t take long until she’d helped you out of the loose t-shirt she’d given you when you’d arrived, her warm hands a welcome respite from the cool night air. 

Then you felt the waistband of your shorts tighten, her fingers dipping briefly under the elastic. 

“Do you want me to—”

“Yes.” Your voice was breathy. 

“Sheesh,” said Ellie, though at the same time she was pulling them down your thighs. “Eager much?”

“I’ll leave,” you warned.

It was an empty threat. 

“Yeah, yeah,” said Ellie. “I’ll make it up to you if you’re so offended.” 

Her hand nudged between your legs, fingers rolling languidly up the middle of your clothed center.

“Oh god,” you whined, no longer caring about the magnitude of your reaction in regards to what she was doing to you. 

Your hands shot out to haphazardly grip the sheets as you felt your panties get pushed aside. Ellie’s knuckles slid down your folds, making a lewd wet sound from all of the slickness as she separated them. 

When you finally opened your eyes, you could see Ellie intensely studying you, her eyes cast down to where she was touching you as her teeth pulled at her bottom lip. 

You wanted to feel self-conscious. After all, it had been forever since you’d been touched like this, and to have it be done by someone you were so anxious to impress only added insult to injury. But your mind was so clouded with want and desperation that you couldn’t even bring yourself to want to close your legs, no matter how closely she seemed to be examining you. 

Something prodded at your entrance. Your legs tensed.

Ellie paused. “Alright?”

You bit your lip and nodded, shutting your eyes. 

The prodding morphed into a stretching sensation as something entered you, your walls seizing up and tensing as you sharply inhaled. 

“You could try relaxing,” Ellie whispered casually, like her finger wasn’t actively inside of you. “Just a suggestion.” 

“You could try not being an assho—”

Ellie’s thumb swiped across your clit, cutting you off as an involuntary gasp left your throat. 

“Oh, sorry,” she deadpanned. “Were you saying something?”

You sent her a withering glare as she smirked back. Your resolve didn’t hold long, as once her finger withdrew and plunged deeper into you, you were long gone. 

It wasn’t long until one finger became two, scissoring in and out of you while you writhed beneath her and keened over and over again. The room was silent apart from the obscenely wet sounds emanating from between your legs and your whimpers.

As you felt tension begin to pool inside of you like a rubber band about to snap, you pushed yourself up on your elbows, looking down the bed at Ellie.

She was biting her lip in concentration as she worked her fingers in and out of you. Her eyes snapped up to meet yours just as she hooked her fingers inside of you, pulling a high moan from your lips.

“There?” Her voice was low and slightly raspy. 

You nodded helplessly, feeling her pull her fingers out and thrust them in again, angling them just so to brush up against the front of your walls. 

Your head flopped back on the pillow, your mouth falling open as you gasped. You were almost there. You just needed—you weren’t sure exactly what you needed.

“Please,” you managed to stutter out, not clear on what you were asking her for.

But as you felt her press on your clit and rub a tight circle, you realized that Ellie knew exactly what you wanted. 

The rubber band snapped, a white-hot ball in your middle bursting and sending a tremor through your whole body.

You came down with a gasp of air, feeling your walls spasm around Ellie’s fingers once, twice, thrice—until you lost count. 

There was a tug between your legs, and you heard the squelch of her pulling out. You clenched around nothing, tiredly noting how strange it was to be empty again.

Ellie’s head dropped to kiss your shoulder, carefully avoiding your injured side even as she pressed her weight on top of you.

“You okay?” she asked once she’d sat back up. You didn’t miss the way she wiped her fingers on her shorts. 

“Yeah,” you breathed, feeling reason and rationality begin to trickle back into your consciousness. Oh God. What had you done? 

She didn’t say anything as she swung her legs over the edge of the bed, leaning down to retrieve her shirt.

Oh God. You hadn’t just made out with your friend. You’d let her finger you. You’d come apart under her and now you were going to have to eat breakfast and go on patrol and talk to her for the indefinite future knowing that she knew what it felt like to be inside you.

Horror built slowly within you as the implications mounted. You never slept with anyone without clearly defining the boundaries first. You’d never just…lost control, like you just had.

Ellie was standing up, pulling on her shirt and blissfully unaware of your overthinking spiral. Slowly, awkwardly, you reached down and pulled your shorts back up, trying your best to ignore the mess that was between your legs. 

Something landed atop your chest, making you jump. It was your top, helpfully tossed by Ellie from the floor. 

Nausea began to build in your stomach as you quickly redressed, head spinning. Would you get to have your defining conversation now? Did Ellie want to define what you were? Was she going to let you sleep over? You really, really wanted to, but you didn’t know how to ask.

She finished fussing with her shirt and turned back to you, seeing you sat on the edge of the bed.

In a stroke of courage, you caught her hand, pressing a slow, lingering kiss to her palm. You heard her breath stutter before you released it, letting it fall. 

It felt like a confession. One that went beyond just “thinking” about someone. 

“I didn’t know you thought of me like that.” Your voice was hoarse, tired from what you’d just put it through. 

“How could I not?” There was something in the rawness of how she spoke that made your heart lurch. 

“Since…since when?” 

You waited a few moments before amending it. “I—actually, don’t feel like you need to say so.” 

Ellie shrugged, joining you on the edge. “You first.”

“Since…” Since the first night you wanted to say, but you couldn’t make the words come out. That felt too vulnerable, especially when you weren’t sure what you two were yet. That might be too much. “It’s been a while,” you settled on as a vague compromise. 

Ellie nudged the edge of your foot with hers. “I figured. You spend all of your time gawking at me.”

“I do not.” 

She raised an eyebrow. 

“Okay,” you said, rolling your eyes. “Maybe a little. But I was very subtle about it.” 

“Yes, very,” Ellie agreed, nodding gravely. “Didn’t even notice.” 

There were so many things that you wanted to ask her—you wanted to turn the question back to her, you wanted to ask if you could sleep over, you wanted to ask what this meant—but the heavy silence of the room was too thick to speak through. 

“I’m, uh, I think I’m going to go to bed,” Ellie said, scratching the back of her neck uncomfortably. 

“Oh, right,” you responded. “It’s late. Me too.”

It was in fact not that late—you and Ellie had stayed up much later on prior evenings.

“Uh—sleep well,” she said, turning to you. 

An acute pang of hurt twanged in your chest as you realized what she was implying. 

“You too,” you said softly, reaching over to unplug your laptop and grab the charger. Your knees cracked comically loudly as you stood up, but neither of you reacted to it. 

You stole one last glance at her once you’d made it to the doorway. She was watching you, her chin resting on the palm that was propped up by her elbow. “Goodnight,” you said, trying your best to hide the hurt in your voice.

“Goodnight.” 

The walk to your room was short enough that you managed to keep it together until you’d slipped inside and shut the door tight. Then the tears pricking at your eyes began to fall, your back sliding against the door as you fell into a ball. 

It felt stupid to be crying over the fact that you’d had a hookup that hadn’t turned into a passionate love confession and the opportunity to fall asleep in her arms. You and Ellie were so different—there was no reason to believe that she wanted you on any level that wasn’t physical. Maybe she was one of those people who could have sex just based on attraction without it meaning anything. 

And to be upset because she hadn’t cuddled you afterwards or complimented your body or played with your hair or anything—ridiculous. There was no reason to believe that Ellie would suddenly stop being Ellie—sardonic, emotionally detached, asshole Ellie—just because you were in her bed. She’d done nothing wrong except be the person that she’d shown you she was many times over.

You knew this—you knew all of this, but it wasn’t enough to console you. You still wanted her. You still wanted more. You yearned to be touched by her, not just the rough caresses that pulled you over the edge, but the ones that you were expecting had she let you stay the night. 

A while passed as you sat crumpled on the floor, knees pulled to your chest and shoulders heaving. By the time you’d gathered the strength to get up and pee (you highly doubted they had cranberry juice out here, and contracting a UTI on top of everything else was going to be enough to make you jump over the wall banging pots and pans until every infected came to check you out), you were sufficiently cried out, feeling rather like a wrung out washcloth. 

It hadn’t been all bad, you thought to yourself as you splashed your face and washed your hands in the warm light of the bathroom. As long as this hadn’t permanently ruined the friendship between you two, you’d maybe consider doing it again. Despite the emotional turmoil and overall lack of intimacy, it had been nice. In the moment. Next time—if there was one—you’d just lower your expectations. 

Some Ellie was better than No Ellie. 

Yeah. 

You could do that.

“We’re in a fight.” 

The words made you jump a foot in the air, nearly pitching you forward on the sidewalk as you were heading to the stables to help Maria out. 

“Dina!” you exclaimed.

She was frowning at you, her arms tightly crossed.

“Is there a reason we’re fighting?” you asked. 

“You promised you’d come hang out with me,” she said, jutting her chin out. “And where have you been? Not at mine.” 

“I’m sorry,” you said, heat rising to your cheeks. In truth, you’d been so caught up with your Ellie obsession that you’d forgotten about Dina. 

“I guess it’s not totally your fault,” Dina conceded, waving a hand. “I keep telling Ellie to stop being so greedy, keeping you all to herself like that.”

“It’s all been so much.” Your stomach dropped at the mention of Ellie, whom you had exchanged very brief pleasantries with that morning. Or, as pleasant as Ellie’s “pleasantries” could be. 

“How about you tell me about it?” pressed Dina, her lips lifted into a smile. “Come over? After you’re done with whatever you’re doing? I’m off today, so I’m yours whenever.”

You sent her a grateful smile back. “Sure.” 

Your work with Maria finished up quickly—mostly cleaning and polishing the saddles and washing the bits. Before you knew it, you were sitting on Dina’s couch, your feet pulled up under you as you held a mug of hot tea.

Dina wanted to know everything about Terranova—a welcome change from Ellie, who only sparingly asked you about what your life was like. Her bubbliness made you so at ease that you found yourself telling her things that you’d never said out loud before.

“And that’s when I decided that I’m definitely not straight,” you finished.

She giggled and set her mug down on the table between you, leaning forward and giving you a look full of mirth. “You know, speaking of that…”

“Oh?”

“You know Ellie’s into girls too, right?” 

You froze, your smile plastered artificially on your face. The memories of her fingers between your legs last night drifted back, and you shut them down before they lingered for too long. 

“Uh, yeah,” you said lamely. 

“Interesting.” Dina nodded, her eyes unfocused. “Have you two—I dunno—talked about that?”

“Just a little,” you said, shrugging. It wasn’t a lie. It’s not like you two had extensive conversations about the general queer experience on the regular. And her fingering you didn’t involve much talking. 

“Well, I think you should go for it,” announced Dina. 

You choked on your tea. “Huh?” 

“I know she can be an asshole sometimes,” said Dina, making a face. “But I’m definitely picking up on something between you two. I think she really likes you.” 

“She—” You cringed, thinking of how she’d essentially kicked you out the night before. “I don’t really think she does.”

“But you do,” said Dina, her eyes sparkling. “Just tell her.” 

“There’s nothing there,” you said vaguely. 

Dina gave you a long, suspicious look. “Right. If anything changes, you know you can tell me, right?”

You wanted to tell her about what had happened last night so, so badly. But it felt like you’d be crossing a line, talking to someone you’d essentially just met before discussing it more thoroughly with Ellie. 

“Of course,” you said, willing yourself to send her a convincing smile. 

~

Dinner proceeded as normal, with you making casual conversation with Ellie and Joel. Though you two were sitting next to each other, there was no foot-kicking or thigh touches. 

Not that you should’ve expected anything, you thought, scolding yourself. Just because someone fingered you once doesn’t mean they were in love with you. You didn’t call yourself a chef after cooking one meal. 

That night, you lay awake after your shower, feeling your freshly washed hair dampen the edges of your shirt as you started up at the ceiling. Ellie normally knocked by now—hours earlier, in fact. She wasn’t coming. 

You rolled over, pulling your comforter up and trying not to cry again. Silly, stupid you. You’d gone and ruined it all just for someone who didn’t like you very much, She’d purposefully evaded the question of you asking when she’d seen you like that, you realized. This was probably more opportunistic than anything. 

She was all you had here. Of course, you had Dina and Joel and Maria and Jesse, but they were nowhere near the same as Ellie. Ellie had been the one to save you. Ellie had been the one to console you after your first patrol. Ellie had been the one to card through your hair while you were shaking and in shock from being shot. No matter what they did, you would never feel as pulled to them as you were her. 

There was a knock at your door. 

You paled, then brought your hand up to frantically wipe away at the wetness forming at the corners of your eyes. 

Quietly, as not to wake up Joel, you crept over to the door and opened it.

“Hey,” whispered Ellie.

“Hey.” 

She swallowed, looking down the hall before she met your eyes. “Are you—are you busy?”

“It’s 11 o’ clock at night,” you whispered. “My schedule’s not exactly booked.” 

“Right.” She let out an exasperated sigh. “Do you, uh, want to see me for a bit?”

You gulped, feeling stuck in place. Was this all it was ever going to be? A midnight rendezvous that ended with you doing a walk of shame down the hall? 

“Your room or mine?” you asked, folding regardless of your angst.

Ellie blinked. “Uh. Mine? It’s further from—um, there’s more walls in between mine and Joel’s.”

For a moment as you walked alongside her down the hall, you wondered how you’d ever feel comfortable undressing and touching her again, given how awkwardly you two were interacting now.

But once she shut the door and wasted no time in clutching your jaw between her two hands like she was praying and kissing you like she wanted to drown in you, those worries slipped away.

It was much like last time. Ellie didn’t even give you the chance to get on top—you were tossed onto her bed and caged under her arms before you could even think to take control. 

She pushed you over the edge twice with her fingers, this time mouthing at your jaw as you writhed beneath her.

When you came down, you laid panting on her bed, watching the spots in your vision dissipate as Ellie rested on the pillow beside you. Tentatively, you turned so your nose pressed into her jaw, your lips pressing light kisses to her neck.

She shivered, but didn’t push you off.

You took the opportunity to drag your fingers up and down her bare arm, feeling the pads of your fingers catch on the texture of her skin.

Even in the dark, you could see faded marks scattered all over the pale expanse of her skin. Next to her, your skin looked pristine, untouched, like a doll just taken out of the box. 

There was a sting deep inside your chest.

“You’re such a good person,” you heard yourself say. “You didn’t deserve any of this.”

Ellie tensed under you. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m just—” You paused, thinking about how ridiculous you sounded. This was a hookup. Why were you getting all sentimental on her? “I wish that you didn’t have to go through everything that you have. You’re—you’re just so—”

She sat up abruptly, pushing you off her.

“I’m not ‘a good person’,” she said, her voice quiet. “You don’t know what you’re saying. You have no idea what I’ve done.”

You shrugged. “Maybe not. But I know you now. You’ve been so kind to me. I’ve known people who have grown up with silver spoons in their mouths for all their life who are much crueler than you’ve ever been.”

When Ellie was silent, you took the opportunity to reach up and let your fingers trace over her cheekbones, watching the constellations of freckles under your touch. You wanted to memorize everything about her. You never wanted to stop touching her. 

“What are you doing.” It came out in a flat, tired tone.

You tried to hide the way your face fell as you retracted your hand. Right. Hookup. You needed to remember.

“Sorry,” you said, gluing your eyes to your hands. 

“This isn’t…” Ellie paused, and you saw her curl her hands into fists. “This isn’t like that, okay?”

“I know,” you said, but the confirmation of the fact sent a pain so acute through your chest that it was all you could do to not wince. “But we’re friends, right?” But you still care about me, right? was what you really wanted to say. That would do as a poor substitution. 

You could feel Ellie’s stare despite not even looking at her. 

“I should go.” You swung your legs over the edge of her bed, wondering how you were going to make it to your door this time without bursting into tears. 

“Wait,” said Ellie. 

“I hope you sleep well,” you continued, begging, praying that your hurt wasn’t showing as obviously as it felt.

A hand curled around your wrist as you reached the door.

“Wait.” Ellie’s voice was firm enough to make you finally look at her. Her face was stony, but you could see something in her eyes that you couldn’t quite place. “We’re—friends. We are. I’m sorry.” 

“I know,” you said lightly, plastering a little smile on your face. If you stayed in here for another minute, you’d be a sobbing mess. “It’s late, though. I need to go to bed anyway.”

She let you slip from her grip. The door behind you thudded softly shut.

That night, you curled up into a ball under your comforter, feeling your still damp hair stick to the back of your neck.

It was better than nothing, you reminded yourself. Better than nothing.

final a/n: I”M SORRY IM SORRY i know that this just complicates everything more but i’m trying to be realistic about ellie’s character...i promise i will patch things up soon! the second half of this chapter is coming out hopefully within the next few days depending on how quickly i get better from being sick! (also again i’m so sorry abt the smut i’ve never written anything like this before so i was feeling really iffy)

@ruby-static "movie quote ammo" edition!

Where oh god anna you shouldn't have told shawn your puffles name XD

Shawn: wait your puffle is called goose!?

Anna: yes?

Anna: wait why are you so excited about that?

Shawn, doing a top gun voice impression: talk to me, Goose.

Anna: Bruh.

Anna probably doesnt understand why shawn is so excited until he begins to start quoting movie lines to goose. Much to her dismay.

This is revenge for all the times you yelled "SHAAAWWWN" anna *WHEEZE*

Shawn: yo this wood is so soft i can eat it.

Anna: are you a fucking beaver??

Shawn back on his bullshit again and confusing everyone!

Suddenly future party boys again!

Gary: oh my, he reminds me of someone.

Kilanova: names kilanova!

Gary: hello! Welcome to the EPF.

When kilanova joined the EPF, Gary absolutely saw him first and went "oh this guy is going to bring some familiar moments to this place"

And the finale! Fullbodies of the two future dudes. Starting with kilanova himself.

He is basically the Dan of his time! (Which honestly is even more funny considering he is a descendant of him) He is partially melanistic and has a blackhole stomach. Put somthing infront of him in terms of food and its gone. His markings resemble a star!

And poltergeist!

He is named after one of the first exoplanets ever discovered which orbits a pulsar star. He definitely has a sibling called phobetar to complete the checklist of the first two exoplanets discovered ever.

I like to think that penguins in the future have the most weirdest names but with kilanova being named after the explosion caused by two neutron stars colliding and poltergeist being named after a super irradiated zombie planet? They got some cool names!

Blink blink.

"...A demon." Well it certainly explained how the other girl was casually just. SURVIVING the toxic air. And also why Uzi's sensors were not identifying her as a human despite looking so similar to one (minus the features)!

Of course, she DID believe the other at least. After all, the fact that demons are apparently real isn't the weirdest thing she's learned or seen yet-- many strange things happened on this exoplanet. But it's pretty up there.

At the mention of humans and why there were none around, Uzi cleared her throat and scoffed.

"Oho, good luck finding any of those stupid-idiot monkeys around here." She was gonna explain a lot. "They're all back on Earth gettin' fat on burgers and milkshakes, and the ones here on Copper 9 were dumb enough to mess with and cause the core to collapse, which led to..." she made a 'HRRRCHHHH' sound while making a throat slashing gesture for emphasis.

. . . A beat.

"Er... nice outfit, by the way?" She commented awkwardly. "Gives off sick-ass anime vibes..."

Mix humanoid.... Well, that certainly wasn't the first name she was called. I guess this robot didn't know what demons were. Maybe they never heard of such. Beryl didn't blame these bots; demons were written in scriptures and books in the human realm. But demons were 100% real. Raspberyl, on the other hand, was in the monster class of demons. Just because she looked more demon-like than actual other demons. The small demon flapped her wings while she placed a hand on her chin. Observing the android in front of her. It seems like these bots actually have a concourse and do not run on some kind of program.

"Demon, I am a demon. I thought it would be totally obvious. But people have mistaken me for some weird dragonborn before too. Guess you can store that in your databanks now!"

Raspberyl hummed while she placed her hands on her hips. She does have some skepticism about herself and takes pride in herself. Like most demons do. Though... It was actually nice to have someone to talk to when they are the exact same height as you. Raspberyl usually has to look up to people or float at their height. Though that wasn't important... The important thing was, Where the heck was she?! She thought she opened a portal to the human world. The hell happened. The small demon snapped her figures while a giant book appeared before her. She was definitely frazzled.

"This has got to be the human realm! If it is, why are there so many robots? And why is it so cold? If that were the case, I would be wearing a jacket!!"

9 of the Weirdest Exoplanets in the Universe

God is such an amazing artist!

[curiositydotcom]

It seems like every time astronomers discover a new exoplanet, it comes with a weird new label: It's a hot Jupiter! An ice giant! A circumbinary super-Earth in the Goldilocks zone! If you think these names are weird, buckle up: The worlds themselves are even weirder. Here are nine of the most bizarre types of planets we know about.

Why I’m forever sleep deprived :

- Attempt to write a star wars fanfic.

- Has an idea for a planet that only acts as a setting and otherwise not at all important to the plot itself.

- Search top 10 weirdest exoplanet discovered by NASA for reference.

- Laugh at the fact that NASA has actually nicknamed a cold gas planet “Tatooine” just for orbiting binary stars.

- Search Wookiepedia for other binary star systems in Legends.

- Find out there is one called “Byss and Abyss System” and read that planets there may orbit in figure 8.

- Search if such orbit is even possible.

- Read multiple StackExchange replies on how its ‘theoretically possible’ but too unstable to support life or even stay on orbit for long.

- Mentally make an unfunny joke on how planets in Byss and Abyss System will be quickly thrown ‘into the Abyss’ and laugh at own joke.

- Wonder exactly how a planet with binary star system is supposed to work.

- Read three more Wikipedia articles, a cat video, and two tvTropes page.

- ...what was I supposed to be doing?

- Right. The fic.

- Realize that haven’t even picked an idea for the stupid fictional planet that doesn’t canonically exist in a fictional universe that doesn’t exist.

ᴛᴇɴ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴇxᴏᴘʟᴀɴᴇᴛs

The oddity of multitudinous exoplanets have left astronomers baffled ever since they were discovered. In the unquenchable thirst for discovering extraterrestrial life, many of these recently discovered exoplanets, unique in their own esses, are being studied and savvied. Some have been found to be residing in their parent stars' "habitable" (the reason for it being betwixt inverted commas is lucid and very obvious) zones, some in close proximity to their stars, some orbiting their stars, some hot, some cold, some so bizarre, having characteristics and properties so flummoxing that the probabilities and very chances of their existences are questioned and doubted.

The Hubble telescope is always looking for exoplanets to be newly discovered in the vastness of space. The exemplification of it can be nebulously analogous to the odyssey of a deep-sea diver in a diving bell set out to find diminutive, ephemeral and rare mineral crystals in the Earth's oceans. Now, of course, we know that space is immeasurably colossal to be equated or analogized with the oceans but this is just to make someone picture it in his mind how vast our Universe is and how Herculean and labyrinthine it is to discover exoplanets!

Here are ten of some of the weirdest exoplanets ever discovered.

1). The exoplanet named TrES-2b, located approximately 750 l.yrs from our solar system, is officially the darkest planet ever discovered. This abstruse and menacing planet reflects less than 1% of all the light that hits it, making it significantly darker than the majority of known exoplanets. The ominously dark surface can be partially explained by the aerospheric light-absorbent gases that make up the bulk of the planet. Although astronomers aren't fully enlightened about why it is so abberantly dark, there is another eerily confounding fact about this gnomic planet laid bare and unfolded among the myriads of mysteries our universe bears. This sinister-looking sphere of gas also glows a molten red colour as if it's an incandescent ball of coal alight, peregrinating through the fabric of space. This is because the surface temperature of this planet is an inexorably pitiless 1,100°C!

2). This planet is anything but dark, the exact antithesis of the latter - a luminescently sparkling realm just like an astronomically enormous ball of diamond because it is made of diamond! This planet, named 55 Cancri E, is about twice the size of Earth and a third of it is made of solid diamond. It is very carbon-heavy and it is so dense that all the carbon is in the form of diamond. But don't get too overwhelmed and exhilarated because the shimmering exoplanet is a spectacular 40 light years away from us! With our still-developing advancements in science and infinitesimally insubstantial, microcosmic efflorescence in space exploration delimiting us, traversing such a mind-crushing distance is ludicrously beyond us and this makes Cancri stark inaccessible contemporarily. But, even it we were able to reach this diamond elysium and reach home with an influx of even a minute fraction of the diamond crystals there, the ubiquitousness and overabundance of diamonds will be so immanent globally that this would lead to the value of diamonds plummeting exponentially due to the lack of rarity and proliferation in its supply to surfeit! An avalanche of diamonds procurable like nitrogen would not be that much of an euphoria then! So this sublime realm is best admired from afar.

3). Now this exoplanet seems to defy what you have come across in your chemistry textbooks, looks bewilderingly inscrutable when observed and confusticatingly paradoxical, a pulchritudinous world commingling and coalescing two polarities in synchronous accord. This planet, named Gliese 436b, is a ginormous ball of ice on fire - a planet no one would be convinced about when heard of for the first time and would probably laugh it off as some fictional, chimerical realm from Star Wars or Thor or a jejune joke until they are nonplussed and taken aback by reality! The icy surface of the planet is constantly burning at an eldritch 439°C!! So how can this ever be possible that solid ice is perfectly existing unmelted with fire at such a temperature way above its melting point? Astronomers have an explanation for this thankfully. Well, the planet's gravitational attraction is so extremely leviathan that it pulls the melted ice water towards its core, compressing it into a solid form and precluding it from ever evaporating no matter how much it burns!

4). Next time you complain about the weather here on earth, just stop for a moment and be thankful to God that you don't live on the planet HD 189773b, where it unremittingly rains glass sideways! The atmosphere of this exoplanet is profusely full of silicon-infused or silicon-based compounds and substances, which give it its elegantly majestic, worth-panegyrising blue colour. Because of the planet's high surface temperature, these silicon-based particles condense to form solid glass which descends askew as precipitation relentlessly, manoeuvred and dynamicized by tremendously volant winds with staggering speeds of around 4000mph! Seriously! Take a moment and imagine being stranded on this planet, anticipating the worst - an excruciating death as the unforgiving and baleful, aculeate and sword-like glass precipitation perforates every flesh of your zephyr-like body, ripping and tearing it apart into shreds and smithereens! It maybe way too blood-curdling or spine-chilling to imagine but the way I described it is quite close to how it's gonna end! Horror and agony shall be finality.

5). If you think HD 189773b was hellish and unsparing, you haven't met this exoplanet named WASP-12b. This poor and unfortunate planet is being gradually ingurgitated and devoured by its parent star. It's caught up in an orbit so close to the star's punishing vortex that it has been heated up to extremely high temperatures and its mass is being engulfed up by the fireball at a very swift rate, feeding the star up into a gargantuan, blazing fusion reactor venturing in space. WASP-12b is roughly the size of Jupiter. However, it appears to be larger because the crushing temperatures of its parent star have caused it to balloon up and expand on the verge of an apocalyptic implosion! This defenceless planet, awaiting its inevitable doom on sealed fate and the epilogue of its tragic biography, loses an incredible 6 billion metric tonnes of mass every second! In fact, it's being torn apart so rapidly that it is no longer a spherical shape but an egg-like oblong shape resembling the elliptical orbits of the planets of our solar system when viewed from above.

6). This one is a very fascinating exoplanet named Gliese 581c. This planet is very special because it's being voted by the scientific community as one of the top three exoplanets likely to support alien life! And what, in the universe, titillates astronomers more than this? Although Gliese is surmised to harbour extraterrestrial life, there are many features and facts about this planet that makes it very different from our blue home. This planet orbits a red dwarf star 🔴 while the Earth orbits a main sequence star ☀️. On Gliese, if you gazed up at the horizon waiting for the star-rise, you'd get a magnificently breathtaking and literally "out-of-the-world" stupefying sight of a lustrous and flaming red glow in the sky as the red dwarf star comes into your field of view gradually and enthrals you in its alluring emergence. The sky would continue to look a deep crimson red colour throughout the day until star-set. The planet is also tidally locked i.e. it doesn't rotate on its axis, just like the moon's relationship with our Earth. One side of the planet is always facing away from its star and the other always facing towards it. The side that always faces the red dwarf is so blisteringly hot that if you were to stand there, it would melt you alive into soup and vaporize you completely! However, the opposite side of the planet, facing away from the star, is so astonishingly cold that you'd instantly freeze to death! Limiting yourself to assume that some alien life forms will be similar to those here on Earth, you must be wondering how could this violently harsh planet support life. Well, there's a narrow strip of land halfway between the hot side and the cooler side that has just the optimum temperature to support alien life. That central area has been assumed to be the exoplanet's habitable zone. Care has to be taken to make sure the living organisms do not make their way to either of the two extremes to circumvent the torment of getting roasted or frozen to cessation! In 2008, a message was sent by scientists on Earth directly at Gliese 581c and it is expected to reach the planet in 2029.

7). This planet is located in the Scorpio's constellation and known as WASP-17b. One feature that makes this planet so striking and stellar is its sheer size. It is 1.9 times the size of Jupiter, the king of the planets in our solar system. This planet is so prodigious that it is not supposed yo exist theoretically. It kind of seems to break the "laws" of how large a planet can be. For its size, it also has an extremely low density. Because of this, it fits into a very unique class of planets called "puffy planets"! These planets are very large and their densities ate very low in juxtaposition. But it's not the only thing about WASP-17b that makes it so idiosyncratic. It also has a retrograde orbit i.e. it rotates at an opposite direction to its host star.

8 ). You may remember that Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine in Star Wars had two suns. But, as is often the case, reality can be much more awe-inspiring and stupendous than science fiction or imaginative movies. A 149 light years away from us is a planet which has not one, not two, but three stars. This three-star planet, which goes by its catalogue name of HD 188753Ab, ensconces itself in a triple-star system HD 188753. If you had the capability of visiting this planet and be jubilant in surviving and coping with its conditions, you'd experience triple shadows and a sky that gives the spellbinding and captivating view of three different stars of different colours. That'd be one hell of an enrapturing varicoloured show on the horizon gladdening your photoreceptors! You'd also experience constant eclipses as its three parent stars crossed each other's paths. And of course, you'd see very unusual but one of the most intriguing sunrises and sunsets in the universe.

9). Now imagine yourself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the horizon seems to be the indistinguishable merging of the blue sky and the ocean. Everywhere you look, there's only water. No sign of land and you're just in between the ineludible big blue seemingly infinite in its hold. That's what it'll exactly be like if you visited GJ 1214b, about 47 light years away from our solar system. It is an exoplanet made entirely of water, the primary liquid astronomers look for in a planet before assuming it to harbour life! They have nicknamed this planet "the waterworld". The entire surface of this distant realm is one vast, continuous ocean and it remains exactly the same for miles underneath the surface until you reach the planet's core which is encrusted with a thick layer of solid ice. But this ice isn't any ordinary ice that you'd expect to find in your refrigerator! This is because this ice isn't frozen due to cold temperatures. The water surrounding the core is under such an immense amount of pressure from the water above on the surface that the water incarcerating the core is totally compressed to solid ice! This outlandish, rare and unique form of ice is known to scientists as "ICE VII".

10). Last but not the least, 470 l.ys away from us is a planet discovered by the Kepler Space Observatory. It is known as Kepler 438b. This is another peculiar planet that has not got its eccentricity from any distinct features but because it is the most Earth-like planet we've ever found! Having the highest ESI (Earth Similarity Index), this planet has an outstanding ESI value of 0.88, making is ultra rare and very special for that case! Discovered in January 2015, this planet has all the right prerequisites for having the possibility of harbouring alien life, according to the scientists. Most importantly, it is a rocky world just like Earth and its propinquity to its host star places it in the Goldilocks Zone (habitable zone). Water is essential to life. Where there is this precious liquid, there is probably life. But in order to have complex life (assuming that we consider other alien life forms to be somewhat similar to those on Earth), there is a necessity of liquid water which, most of the time, can only be present in the Goldilocks zone. So, this planet is highly likely to have liquid water and therefore life, which makes it one of the weirdest and most fascinating exoplanets we've ever discovered!

These were only ten of the strangest exoplanets we've discovered till date. God knows what's waiting for us in the future when we come across a few, among the zillions, which will be far stranger and mind-boggling for us to expect! This is space. It will never fail to leave you nonplussed and humbled, make you ponder on how many other undiscovered secrets are hiding in its grandeur, waiting for us to meet!

[alicesalley]

Okay I got asked to do this ask meme a long time ago and I’ve just started seriously working on it but here are the first 25! 1: when you have cereal, do you have more milk than cereal or more cereal than milk?

More cereal than milk because I don’t put milk in my cereal (I’m mildly allergic and also just not a fan).

2: do you like the feeling of cold air on your cheeks on a wintery day?

I really do. I don’t get to experience it much here in SoCal and I really miss it from when I used to live in colder places.

3: what random objects do you use to bookmark your books?

Scraps of paper and business cards mostly. Back when I used to only wear reading glasses sometimes I’d use my glasses case as a bookmark. Occasionally I’ll use my phone.

4: how do you take your coffee/tea?

I’m gonna be honest here, despite how much I’m constantly asking for sips from everybody’s coffee (@Sara) I really really don’t like coffee!! I generally don’t drink tea that I haven’t made myself and when I make it myself I don’t put anything in it and the strength of the tea depends on what purpose I’m taking it for. Like if I’m making a tea for sleep the strength of it is going to be based on how strong of a sedative I need.

5: are you self-conscious of your smile?

I am but I’ve been smiling and laughing a lot more recently and it’s been really nice. I haven’t been thinking about what I don’t like about it in the moment.

6: do you keep plants?

I have a few cacti right now and I really like them. I’ve always kept plants throughout my youth and sometimes I get to go back to my mother’s place and see the plants I had when I was younger flourishing. I live in an apartment right now but I plan to move into a house soon and I hope to be able to get a lot more plants.

7: do you name your plants?

Kind of? I play this game called Viridi where I have virtual plants and sometimes I like to name those but I don’t name my actual plants.

8: what artistic medium do you use to express your feelings?

I use a lot of different kinds of mediums recreationally but if I truly need to express my feelings then I use poetry. A kind of prose poetry that’s still structured somewhat unusually for true prose.

9: do you like singing/humming to yourself?

I’m kind of really self-conscious about doing both but lately I’ve been singing with my friends more and it’s been really nice.

10: do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?

I like to either sleep on my back or my side if I’m sleeping alone. If I’m sleeping with someone else it’s a lot nicer to sleep on my side, like, spooning them or even back to back but I do get better sleep when sleeping on my back in that situation. It’s really rare for me to be able to fall asleep on my stomach.

11: what’s an inner joke you have with your friends?

Oh man, there are so many! My friends like to make fun of something I say as a joke when someone is like, super stressing me out by saying something ridiculous. You should ask them about it.

12: what’s your favorite planet?

That’s a really hard one! I’m a big fan of Gliese 876 d, it’s about 15 light-years away and is in the constellation of Aquarius. It’s really not very massive for an exoplanet and actually when it was discovered had the lowest mass of any exoplanet discovered (besides the ones orbiting Lich. By the way, a pulsar called Lich, cool name right? I definitely prefer it to “PSR B1257+12” one of its other names). We had to make some assumptions about the planet to get a mass that wasn’t just the lower limit but if we assume it’s roughly coplanar (orbits in the same plane) as the outer planets of its star we can get a value of about 6.83 Earth masses. Now, I saved the best part for last, this planet is probably terrestrial. And based on two different models either is hot enough to have lava oceans, or has a pressurized liquid water ocean below which there is a layer of ice between it and the core. In the second model there would actually be an atmosphere with water vapor and oxygen. We don’t know enough about the planet or the system to know which model is accurate though but both are awesome!

13: what’s something that made you smile today? I’ll say two things because even though I’m fairly early in my day it’s been really nice. One of my friends sent me a random meme which he does a lot to just make me happy. Another of my friends has now been dubbed the “tag princess” and I find that hilarious.

14: if you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?

(Preface: I have two best friends I’d like to live with). It’d probably have a lot of bookshelves. A garden is a necessity as are window seats. I’d really like it to be somewhere rainy with a nice view either of a park or the city scape. A fireplace would be nice, a real wood burning one. I’d like a lot of wood in the interior and despite the garden there’d probably be some plants inside. I think she’d like a bathtub and so would I. He’s pretty insistent on a tin roof so I’d try to work that in. Overall though it’s not really important to me what it looks like as long as my friends are there.

15: go google a weird space fact and tell us what it is!

I think one a lot of people don’t know is that despite being so close to the sun Mercury has water ice. It’s in permanently shadowed craters.

16: what’s your favorite pasta dish?

I love spaghetti and meatballs! To be quite honest the main thing I like about it is how sauce of the meatballs can blend with the taste of the pasta, I’m not really so much of a fan of pasta by itself in any situation.

17: what color do you really want to dye your hair?

Silver or white! I’d really love white hair.

18: tell us about something dumb/funny you did that has since gone down in history between you and your friends and is always brought up.

Ah man, once again there are so many. There’s the time where I forgot what an egg was? That gets brought up A LOT.

19: do you keep a journal? what do you write/draw/ in it?

I keep a document on my computer of any projects I might want to do.

20: what’s your favorite eye color?

I like blue and green a lot but I think blue is my favorite? For a while I figured this was mostly in concept because I don’t really look people in the eyes but I realized recently that somehow almost everyone I’ve crushed on has had blue eyes so I guess I notice it on some level?

21: talk about your favorite bag, the one that’s been to hell and back with you and that you love to pieces.

My mother gave me a small purse that I really like, I wouldn’t say that I love it to pieces because I don’t really like bags that much but I do wear this one a lot.

22: are you a morning person?

I am decidedly Not a morning person. It can be really nice to be up in the morning though when it is so quiet and the sun is still low in the sky. It’s just, I’m always so exhausted.

23: what’s your favorite thing to do on lazy days where you have 0 obligations?

It’s nice to lay in bed and read or watch a movie. Talk with friends.

24: is there someone out there you would trust with every single one of your secrets?

I don’t think there’s anyone I know well enough right know that I would trust with every one of my secrets but there are two people I’d trust with most.

25: what’s the weirdest place you’ve ever broken into?

I haven’t really broken into any places that were weird but I broke into a toilet paper dispenser in one of the dorms at college and stole a toilet paper roll for a bit. Well, I returned it. It’s more like borrowing. It was for a good cause.
