In our hunt for exoplanets, one of our primary hopes is to find earth-like planets where we might find life (though, of course, alien life might look nothing like we do) and maybe someday live.
But most of the exoplanets we've found so far look nothing like earth; most are a lot more like Jupiter. And some are even wilder than that.
Discovery.com has put together a list of the most horrific planets found so far, including a planet with one side encased in perpetual darkness, a planet being melted by its star, and a planet so close to its star that we need to come up with a new planetary evolution model to explain how it came to be.
