”Most extreme planet discovered’: Scientists find blistering exoplanet with temperatures near 3,200C – Clinton News Record
WASP-189b takes fewer than three days to orbit its star, with one side experiencing a permanent ‘night’ and the other a permanent ‘day’

Researchers at the University of Bern say that the exoplanet, dubbed WASP-189b, is a gaseous giant 1.6 times larger than Jupiter and can record temperatures of up to 3,200 degrees Celsius, hot enough enough to met all rocks and metal and turn them into gaseous form.
