More evidence to suggest that we live in an electrical universe as opposed to one governed by gravity and "dark matter".

Those photographs are NOT pictures of WASP 18b. With our current technology it is not possible to see or photograph an extra-solar planet.
Every extra-solar planet ever discovered was not discovered by being "seen", but rather through indirect means, such as by detecting the wobble in a star, or by detecting the slight dimming of a star due to the planet passing in front of it.
Perhaps someday we will be able to "see" and photograph extra-solar planets, but we can't do it yet.
...and, by the way, the second picture you posted that you said was titled "Sulphate and Clay" is a picture of Mars -- specifically it is a picture taken near Gale Crater on Mars.

I know making up laws makes us think we understand, but it amuses me when we write things down and state 'this is it'.
I am sure there are quite a few things out there that defy our 'laws of gravity' simply because out laws of gravity are incomplete (not necessarily wrong, but we don't have ALL the data to have ALL the laws).
As we learn and make technological advancements I am sure we will be re-writing/adding/amending.
It's a big place we live in and we don't know a lot in reality.
As my signature states, not long ago we thought the earth was flat (t'was the law and if you didn't agree you were stupid - or a heretic).
Long may we continue learning.
Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

But that does not mean that the laws of physics are being defied, it means there's just one more thing we don't know about.
