esse efeito é lindo agora vamos descobrir o que é!
esse "planeta" ainda ser muito útil para humanidade

So I take it the red stuff is the atmosphere bouncing around? If so thats pretty insane

It said the planet was a gas giant, so it's almost all atmosphere. It's a big one, 4 times as heavy as Jupiter, so its gravity must be strong enough to retain all that gas after every perihelion-induced 'explosion'.
Do we know the makeup of that atmosphere? The usual H+He mix of gas giants, or has it been depleted in the lighter isotopes?

I don't understand exactly what I'm seeing. Am I looking in a fixed inertial direction as I follow the planet around its sun? At what point does the perihelion occur? When the visible face of the planet is completely lit?

this is really cool

The Icarus planet, HD 80606b, is a gas giant with a mass 4 times that of Jupiter. Its orbit is highly eccentric (e=0.927). Its 111 day orbit takes it from 125 million km to 4 million km away from its star in about 55 days.
This video shows a simulation of the thermal effects on the planet's upper atmosphere. The blue light is the day side of the planet, the night side shows us the infrared view of the violent storm that results from the planet's rapid heating.

I'd suppose that the atmosphere would probably be nonexistent, if at all. But if there was one, it would probably be a pretty thin oxygen atmosphere. And since it's in an oblong orbit, it would probably take pretty quickly if the atmosphere was the same like I said. This is based on the theory that the star is in the center of the oval, of course.

Why do commentards on YouTube do this bullshit of c>r>ting?

its fake do ur research. Just kidding. That's a pretty nice simulation. What is the atmosphere mainly composed out of? And how long does it take to cool down?
