What you are now seeing is the exoplanet Kepler-70C. It was formerly called K-O-I-55C. Kepler-70C and its brother planet Kepler-70B are two silent survivors and evidence of the brutality of the cosmos. Somewhere around 18 million years ago, these two planets were probably a pair of gas giants orbiting Kepler-70, which was their host star. When the star passed through its red giant state, it engulfed the two planets and consumed them in the process, leaving only their high-density metal cores orbiting the system, like two zombies. Kepler-70C registers high temperatures, but as it is tidally locked, we can explore the dark side of a planet. Nevertheless, the bizarre landscape has a strange beauty. All of the surface is composed of highly compressed melted metals, giving it the appearance of a shiny, brittle dark skin. Due to the violent process it suffered, the planet is full of scars and millions and millions of pieces continually float around like an angry swarm. The gravity makes the floating rocks swirl and cluster in capricious ways. Now we find a canyon, and we surf a river of asteroids. Now we see valleys, terraces, hills and mountains. Now, we find clouds made of rocks and dust covering an ocean of metallic dunes. And sometimes we can see Kepler-70B passing through the dark sky, as the two planets pass each other. At its closest point, there are only 240,000 kilometers apart. When this happens, the gravity tides produce violent rock storms that send debris to the space that becomes trapped inside the two planets orbit, drawing a giant ring around the star.
