      It’s a hot Jupiter. It’s so hot, it rains molten iron.

      It was provisionally named Bellerophon, but later they changed the name to the incredibly boring Demidium. I’ll accept Pluto’s demotion to dwarf planet (it has now found its people), but I will never accept this abomination of a rename. There was a great documentary someone uploaded to YouTube on exoplanets, I’ll see if it’s still up.

      Edit: I think it was this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F84TUPJ7gH0&pp= whyyougottameasureppyoutubewhy
