It is Raining Sand!






Snapshot answer
It’s a planet where it rains sand, says The Guardian. The celestial body, named Wasp-107b, lies about 200 light-years from Earth. Data from Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope shows that the off-putting orb has 1,000C temperatures, raging winds, and silicate sand clouds which fall like precipitation. There’s also evidence of water vapour and sulphur dioxide, which would give the whole place a rather distinctive smell of burnt matches.

That picture must be an artist's conception of what Wasp-107b may look like, not an actual photograph.

Assuming something can have nostrils at 1,000 C
