Discover the hell situation on Super Earth

For the first time, British scientists have discovered terrifying temperature fluctuations on a rocky planet known as "super-Earth" outside our solar system.

New discovery about Super Earth

According to experts, ' super-earth ' is like planets and is about 1 to 10 times larger than Earth . The ability to observe the atmosphere as well as the conditions on the surface of super-Earths is considered an important step to help people search for alien life.

Using the Spitzer space telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA), the British research group led by the University of Cambridge observed the heat emission of a super-Earth named 55 Cancri e. This is a rocky planet that is orbiting a sun-like star, located 40 light-years away, in the Cancer constellation.

Super Earth 55 Cancri e has twice the size and 8 times the volume of our planet . In particular, the researchers found that 55 Cancri e had temperatures ranging from 1,000 ° - 2,700 ° C. They believe that this temperature variation may be due to huge air and dust streams, which can partially melt, often covering the super-Earth surface.

The streams of air and dust covered 55 Cancri e are thought to have originated from unusually high volcanic activity, higher than what was observed on Io, one of Jupiter's moons and the celestial body. The most powerful geological activity in the solar system.

One of the five planets orbiting a Sun-like star in the Cancer constellation, 55 Cancri e is so close to her star that her year only lasts 18 hours . The planet is also locked by the tide, which means it does not rotate like the Earth. Instead, 55 Cancri e had one side always day and one night always permanently.

Initial observations show that 55 Cancri possesses a rich source of carbon, implying that the planet is made of diamonds.
