An interesting article I had in my bookmarks; a planet with a temperature so high, and winds to fierce, that it rains glass.

I remember that one. It is one of the examples I cite when people think the Traveller planetary rules are too odd for reality.

Why is it that when I read the article, my eyes kinds glazed over...?

You're not supposed to stare up into the falling silica rain...

@Blue Ghost - cool find. Makes me think we really need that interferometer.

Yeah, it was like the first thing that came to my mind when I was cleaning up the house and computer (preparing to move) was "I wonder what kind of adventure you can have on that planet..."

I'm getting inspired.
