I received this picture from a cellular phone. This planet has two moons. Looks like the sea tides are bigger and stronger than here on Earth. This could be the Bizarro Planet HD 189733b.

It's not a place you'd want to vacation at.

I misread the OP and it just didn't make sense. Today it does.

I agree. The picture the OP received by cellphone and description of 2 moons and oceans kind of throws the whole thing off.

I read about this. It rains glass there and has estimated 4,000 MPH winds. If we ever achieve long distance interstellar travel we will probably skip this one. Plenty of other planets that are closed or at the "Goldilocks zone" that could have life.

I still don't get what the pic in the OP has to do with the planet in question. The planet in the article has no surface, let alone oceans and tides.
