9 Weirdest Alien Worlds We've Already Found

If you thought we get some bad weather here on Earth, think again.

The snappily titled super-planet HD 189733b has weather that will make your drizzly Tuesday morning look like a day at the beach according to the latest observations by the Hubble Telescope. For the first time ever, scientists have been able to see the true colour of an exoplanet and they found that it was a lovely shade of blue.

However, this lovely shade of blue is due to the fact that temperatures on the gas giant can soar to up to 930°C, causing it to rain super-heated molten glass.

Oh, and it also rains sideways due to the 7000 kph winds that scream over the planet's surface. 

So, the next time you're getting misted by a bit of drizzle whilst you wait for the bus, you can be thankful that you're not being vaporised by thousand-degree-horizontal-glass-rain.

Every cloud has a silver lining and all that (unless glass is falling out of it, of course).
