[00:00:00]There's a planet so hot, it vaporizes metal into the atmosphere.

[00:00:05]And the terrifying part, scientists say it's being torn apart in real time.

[00:00:11]WASP-121b orbits so close to its star, one side never experiences night.

[00:00:18]Temperatures climb above 4,000° Fahrenheit.

[00:00:23]Hot enough to boil iron, scientists detected vaporized metal blasting through the sky like toxic storms. And the winds there move faster than sound. The atmosphere is literally escaping into space.

[00:00:38]Like the planet is slowly dying. And if Earth moved just slightly closer to the sun, this is exactly what our sky could become.
