The so-called "tidal heating", and the proximity of the planet to its star, combine to bring the surface temperature to more than 2,500 K (2,200 °C). On May 20, 2010, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted WASP-12b being "consumed" by its star. Scientists had been aware that stars could consume planets; however, this was the first time such an ...
Size comparison of Jupiter with Ditsö̀ WASP-17b has a radius between 1.5 and 2 times that of Jupiter and about half the mass . [ 1 ] Thus its mean density is between 0.08 and 0.19 g/cm 3 , [ 1 ] compared with Jupiter's 1.326 g/cm 3 [ 14 ] and Earth 's 5.515 g/cm 3 (the density of water is 1 g/cm 3 ).

A space settlement (also called a space habitat, space stead, space city or space colony) is a settlement in outer space, sustaining more extensively habitation facilities in space than a general space station or spacecraft.

Like the stars, the spiral arms rotate around the center, but they do so with constant angular velocity. The spiral arms are thought to be areas of high-density matter, or "density waves". [87] As stars move through an arm, the space velocity of each stellar system is modified by the gravitational force of the higher density.
