I can see the advert now: If you need to get a tan in seconds visit planet Gehenna (branding by hot iron droplets included for free).

With all seriousness this place seems to be the horrid nightmare of Dante's inferno! Fog of molten gaseous iron, and rainstorms of molten metal!

Ay yi yi caramba!

compared to spotting the shadow cast by a mosquito flying in front of a searchlight two hundred miles away

Stupid question, but how do we know that there wasn't a "mosquito" somewhere between the telescope and the star? To think that there is absolutely nothing in the viewfinder over that 29.4 quadrillion mile distance is just a little presumptious, wouldn't you think?

It ain't so bad at night time though. Wearing sweaters is recommended.

...temperature of about 3,100 degrees F, enough to vaporize most metals.

This is not true.
At 3100 degrees metals certainly would be well past liquidous temp., but they wouldn't vaporize.

But the low humidity makes it feel less hot.

That planet sounds like it's Hillary Territory. Actually, I believe Hillary comes from the 12th Planet in our own solar system: Nibiru, the home planet of the Nephilim.
