It is definitely not a candidate to become a new home for humanity. Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope has made the most detailed global map yet of the glow from a turbulent planet outside our solar system - and found an astonishingly inhospitable environment. The exoplanet, called WASP-43b,  is a world of extremes. This is a temperature map of the 'hot Jupiter' class exoplanet WASP 43b. The white-colored region on the daytime side is 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. The nighttime side temperatures drop to under 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. First discovered in 2011, WASP-43b is located 260 light-years away. The planet is about the same size as Jupiter, but is nearly twice as dense.

3,000-degree-Fahrenheit 'day' side, hot enough to melt steel

Pitch-black 'night' side with plunging temperatures below 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit
Scientists combined two previous methods of analyzing exoplanets in an unprecedented technique to study the atmosphere of WASP-43b with the @placeholder.
