Meet the planets which are the hottest, coldest, oldest, youngest, and fastest

[The Dragon Master]

Over the last 50 years, as our telescopes have got bigger and better, we have started to learn a little bit about our cosmic neighbours.



And astronomers have found a huge array of planets out there, with some startling characteristics, certainly worthy of a mention in an intergalactic version of the Guinness Book of Records.



For instance there's the fastest planet - SWEEPS-10 - which flies around its sun at a distance of just 740,000 miles - about three times the moon's distance from Earth - meaning a year lasts just 10 hours.

FASTEST: The planet SWEEPS-10 orbits its parent star such velocity that it completes an orbit - or a year - in just 10 hours

I see a considerable bit of space talk here and I like it.
