Astronomers are searching for rocky planets with atmospheres that have been outside our solar system for many years. It is a property that is essential for the survival of living organisms And now you may have found it. It is about 41 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cancer, but the planet's surface appears to be made of molten rock. You are unlikely to be able to live in it
A planetary scientist from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology, or Caltech. In the United States it was revealed that this “super-Earth” planet is rocky. Much larger than the world but smaller than Neptune, it orbits an eerily faint star. The star's mass is just less than that of the Sun, and this “super-Earth,” called 55 Cancri e or Janssen, orbits its host star rapidly, every 18 hours or more. Astronomers said infrared observations using two instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope indicate the presence of a significant atmosphere. But this does not seem to be conducive to living. It was probably constantly replenished with gases emanating from the vast magma ocean. The atmosphere is likely rich in carbon dioxide. Oxides or carbon monoxide, but may also contain other gases such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide. But current observations cannot determine the exact composition of the atmosphere.
55 Cancri e is about 8.8 times larger than Earth, has a diameter roughly twice that of Earth, and orbits its star at 1/25 of the distance between Mercury and the Sun. As a result, its surface temperature is about 31,725 degrees Celsius, making it one of the hottest rocky exoplanets.
