[00:00:00]Think Earth gets hot? Welcome to K2-141b, a world so extreme it makes our hottest deserts look like a freezer. This hell planet is locked in a tight orbit around its star, completing a full year in just 7 hours. It is so close that the gravity has locked one side in permanent scorching daylight.

[00:00:22]>> Temperatures on the day side reach a staggering 5,000° F.

[00:00:28]That is hot enough to not only melt rock, but to actually vaporize it into a thick mineral atmosphere.

[00:00:34]>> But the night side is a frozen nightmare. With no sunlight, temperatures plummet to minus 300°, creating a world of literal fire and ice. The weather here is insane. It doesn't rain water, it rains rocks.

[00:00:50]Mineral vapor is carried by supersonic winds to the cold side, where it hardens and falls back into the lava oceans as stone rain.
