Super Earth hotter than 1800 degrees appears next to the 'copy of the Sun'

Another solar system with the center is a sun-like star and two planets (one is super-earth, the other is a copy of Neptune) found by NASA's planetary hunters.

Another solar system with the center is a star like the Sun and two planets (one is super Earth, the other is a copy of Neptune) found by NASA planet hunters.

Research led by Dr Nestor Espinoxa from NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute shows that the center of the newly discovered "Solar System" is the brightest star with the second most super-Earth in the sky. . This finding is valuable for future research to decipher mysterious worlds called "super-Earths".

This strange super Earth orbits so close to its star, it stays there for just over a day on Earth.

The star, HD 213885 , also known as TOI-141 , is a 3.8 billion-year-old G-type star located 156 light years away from us.

Its peculiar Super Earth is HD 213885b (TOI-141b) , filmed very close to its parent star, each year staying there for just over a day on Earth a little (1,008 days). The close range gives it a "hell" temperature : 1,855 degrees Celsius.

This super Earth is also a rocky planet like ours, but is 1.74 times larger than Earth and 8.8 times heavier.

This planetary system also has a second planet, HD 213885c (TOI-141c), 19.9 times heavier than Earth and equivalent to Neptune in our Solar System. Even a little further, it only takes 4.78 days to complete the rotation and has a surface temperature of up to 922 degrees Celsius.

According to a recent publication in the scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomycal Society , this planetary system, especially its hot super Earth, is a potential target for the study of the atmospheres of worlds. alien.
