Astronomers have found an ultra-hot giant planet in the Pisces constellation where they suspect it rains 'iron'. This finding may lead to better ways of studying the climate of most extreme planets outside the solar system. The giant exoplanet WASP-76b is at a distance that would even take 640 light-years to reach the Earth. The study also noted that strong winds carry iron vapour to the cooler night where it could be iron droplets.
