They say they have discovered a planet made of glass...
...people there shouldn't throw stones, right?
This alignment of the crescent moon and one of the planets (Jupiter or Venus, I imagine..) was one of those things that cell phones don't really capture very well. Or at least, I didn't get a very good shot of it.
But it reminded me of something I saw on the Science Channel, talking about all the planets they are discovering around other stars in our galaxy.. One made of carbon, much of which has probably been crushed and heated into becoming diamonds.
And another one made of mostly silica, much of which has probably turned into greenish glass because of the heat. They also said the winds there were traveling around the globe at thousands of miles per hour.. The surface of that world must be incredibly smooth, being made of glass, and being polished by little beads of glass moving at thousands of miles an hour day and night...
What a wonderful and strange universe we live in. I can't wait till we figure out that warp-drive thing so we can get out there and see some of these places...
