But I always find it interesting that scientists always know whats going in in the atmosphere of these planets without being there, and without actually being able to see anything with that kind of detail.

In any case I would love to tour Gods creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,the Hubble does not have that capability.I am thinking that their are some really,really awesome planets out there that even the Hubble has not picked up.God has made them just for us to enjoy as His children.

Its like I thought, looking at the wording " Glass rain may give planet blue hue" In other words, reading between the lines they know its blue, but are just taking random stabs in the dark to figure out why. lol.
