New discovery of planet named

British scientists have discovered horrific fluctuations on the rock planet 55 Cancri e, dubbed the "super-Earth", 40 light-years from Earth.

The planet dubbed "super-Earth" radiates heat

"Super Earth " 55 Cancri e, the name of one of the 5 planets orbiting the star 55 Cancri in the constellation of the Monkey , having twice the diameter of the planet, but the volume is 8 times greater. It rotates around its own star for just 18 hours, too short for the Earth's 365-day period, and very hot. The star 55 Cancri and its five planets are about 40 light-years away from Earth and were discovered in 2004. Humans can see 55 Cancri visually at night.

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 Cambridge University observed the heat emission of 55 Cancri e.

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.

Diamond planets have a very different material composition than the globe . For example, the Earth has a lot of oxygen and very little carbon (less than a thousand), while the other planet has a lot of carbon and has no (or very little) oxygen. The main ingredient of 55 Cancri e is carbon (diamond or graphite). It also contains iron, silicon carbides and even silicate. Pure diamonds occupy at least one-third of the planet's mass .
