Did you know that not all planets are the same shape? This exoplanet, called WASP-12b, is egg-shaped. It's located around 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. It's been described as Hot Jupiter because it's a gas giant that orbits its star very closely. As a result of the intense gravitational pull from the star, it strips away the planet's atmosphere. forming this mesmerizing comet tail. It's also due to these forces of gravity that stretch the planet into the shape of an egg. Subscribe for science content.
