Artists concept of a Hot Jupiter extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star
Artists concept of a Hot Jupiter extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star. The intense heat from the star blows off the planets atmosphere into space, creating a cometary tail facing directly away from the star.
Hot Jupiters are thought to have formed further away from the star, but have been pulled closer by dust that created drag in their orbit, forcing them to move closer to their stars. When being this close, they often get tidally locked to their stars, meaning that they spin around their axis once every time they orbit the star. These planets are unlikely to have moons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Fahad Sulehria depicts an artist's concept of a Hot Jupiter extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star. The image showcases the intense heat from the star blowing off the planet's atmosphere into space, creating a mesmerizing cometary tail that extends away from the star. Hot Jupiters are believed to have formed further away from their stars but were gradually pulled closer due to dust-induced drag in their orbits. This phenomenon forced them to move closer to their stars, eventually becoming tidally locked, meaning they rotate around their axis once per orbit. Interestingly, these planets are unlikely to possess any moons. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this digitally generated image bring forth the awe-inspiring nature of these roaster planets known as hot Jupiters or epistellar jovians. They belong to a class of gas giants that closely orbit dwarf stars like our Sun. This stunning illustration not only highlights important concepts in planetary science and astrophysics but also sparks our imagination about distant worlds and potential life beyond Earth. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous exploration and discovery within our vast universe.
