By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command,
that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
Hebrews 11:3NLT
"HR 8799 is a star located approximately 129 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Pegasus.
The star is part of a system that also contains a massive debris disk and four giant exoplanets: HR 8799b, c, d and e.
Unlike most exoplanet discoveries, which are inferred from analysis of data, HR 8799 planets are directly visible from Earth.
Further observations in 2009 and 2010 revealed the fourth planet, HR 8799e, which is about 10 times the mass of Jupiter.
It orbits 14.5 times farther from HR 8799 than the Earth is from the Sun and takes about 45 years to orbit the star.
The planet is thoroughly inhospitable — a hostile temperature of 1,611 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Our analysis showed that HR 8799e has an atmosphere containing far more carbon monoxide than methane — something not expected from equilibrium chemistry,” Dr. Lacour said.
The astronomers found that the atmosphere of HR 8799e also contains clouds of iron and silicate dust.
When combined with the excess of carbon monoxide, this suggests that the planet’s atmosphere is engaged in an enormous and violent storm."
