And You Thought Global Warming Was Bad on Earth

Just be glad you don't live on HD 149026b, a newly discovered extrasolar planet where temperatures reach 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit. HD 149026b is a gas giant, like Jupiter, that orbits a star in the constellation Hercules (though the people there have no idea that they live in the constellation Hercules). Apparently the extreme heat is due to HD 149026b's relatively small size for a gas giant, its relatively dense atmosphere, and its close proximity to the star it orbits.
