First-time a Planet has been discovered with a Blue Atmosphere: Not Water But Sideways Glass Rain

That sounds promising but it really does seem like a freaky hell hole though.

The exoplanet's weather is less than ideal. Its atmosphere is more than 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius) and the planet rains glass sideways in 4,350 mile per hour (7,000 km/h) winds, according to Hubble officials.

Yeah that means life probably does not live on this planet. Astronomers have no idea why the planet is blue though. Maybe there is large traces of cobalt in the atmosphere for whatever reason.
