A full year there lasts just 2 hours. Tidal forces at that distance should rip any normal world to shreds. We're talking gravity strong enough to flatten mountains into dust, but this one survived. Scientists think it's the dense metallic core of a former gas giant stripped naked by the explosion that created the star. It's a ghost world, the corpse of a planet dancing on the grave of a dead sun. What do you think it looks like up close?
