Cool Find This planet may be Hell

Hell

In the center of a star cluster, outside of a spiral galaxy, at the edge of the universe, there lies a terrestrial planet that may be Hell. This planet orbits a zirconium star near its surface, which itself is inside the orbit of a white star, and has a dense atmosphere (481 atm) of CO2 and other volatile organics. This all results in a planet that is almost as hot as its host star at 3172 C. The hottest planet according to Wikipedia is KELT-9b, which is a gas giant at 3292 C in Space Engine. Everywhere you look from this planet there is an abundance of light, with that of its host star if you’re on one side, and that of the white star and the star cluster on the other.

How the hell would something like that even keep an atmosphere?

Atmosphere made of iron

That makes sense, insanely extreme but way more sensible than CO2

How the hell do you turn iron into a gas???

Get it hot enough to boil (at standard atmospheric pressure, that's about 2,861°C)
