A study on drawing a hot Jupiter's nightside.

The dayside is overexposed. The nightside is pinkish from the combination of blackbody radiation and absorption from Na/K/H2O, similar to brown dwarfs.

This image depicts a hot Jupiter's crescent, being illuminated by a host star located off-screen to the bottom left. The dayside, being overexposed, is pure white, and the atmosphere shows up as a white glow surrounding the dayside. The nightside is dull pinkish, with cooler clouds showing up as darker regions. The two large hemispherical storms appear on the image as well.

WASP-76b, an ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet about 640 light-years away. On the day side, temperatures soar past 2,400°C (4,350°F) - hot enough to vaporize iron into gas. WASP-76b is also tidally locked. The hot side vaporizes iron, which condenses into liquid metal and falls as molten iron rain.

The hot side vaporizes iron, and violent winds whip that iron vapor to the cooler night side, where it condenses into liquid metal droplets and falls as molten iron rain. #science #sciencefacts #exoplanet #hotjupiter #wasp76b #ironrain #metalrain
