Space has its mysteries

“Towering waves more three times the size of the sun are crashing on an enormous, distant star.

The star in question is paired with another in a highly elliptical orbit. As the stars swing close together, their gravities pull on each other to produce tidal waves, much like how the moon creates tides on Earth. This stretches the stars, causing them to bulge out at the equator, which makes them seem brighter for a while,"

Space is wonderful, But we do not know anything that God has created, We would not expect to see little green men on this star or its planet.

We would not want to see little green men on the exoplanet Smertrios. 

HD149026b, or Smertrios, is a so-called hot Jupiter, a Jupiter-like planet that orbits extremely close to its parent star, Its distance to the star is merely three earth days.  

The planet is so close to its star that its temperate is 1,425 degrees Celsius,  but unlike the massive stars in the solar system, the atmospheric composition of a planet has carbon and oxygen.

Toi-2109b is a hot jupiter. it revolves around its sun some 855 light-years away from us. The planet takes just 15 hours for a revolution around it. It has the shortest known orbit. It is only 2.4 million kilometres or 1.5 million miles away from it.

Avi Shporer, an exoplanet scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Says. "How does a planet as massive and large as Jupiter reach an orbit that is only a few days long? We don't have anything like this in our solar system, and we see this as an opportunity to study them and help explain their existence."

The planet throws the planetary formation theory out of the window. We have no reason to find little green  men on the planet.
