super earth discovered 9 times massive than earth with 18 hours rotation time

Researchers have said that they have discovered a planet much larger and heavier than Earth, but smaller than Neptune, which can be called Super Earth. This planet is orbiting a star in a dangerous manner. Its star is slightly smaller and slightly less bright than our Sun. This planet completes one rotation in 18 hours. That is, just as the Earth completes its rotation on its axis in 24 hours, a day of 18 hours is formed on the new planet. But the disappointing thing is that its surface is filled with molten rocks as lava comes out from the volcano. And there doesn’t seem to be any possibility of life here at the moment.

This planet has been observed through infrared observations with the help of James Webb Space Telescope. Its atmosphere cannot support life. Because it has been found that the rocks on its surface are present in molten form and gases are continuously coming out from them which fill its atmosphere. That means there is an ocean of magma here.

Space scientists have named it 55 Cancri e or Janssen. It is 8.8 times i.e. about 9 times heavier than the Earth. It is being said that its atmosphere is full of gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. But other gases such as water vapor, and sulfur dioxide may also be present. The results obtained so far do not confirm what is actually present in its atmosphere. In the journal Nature Study Has been published. Also, how dense its atmosphere is has not been confirmed.

The newly discovered planet is orbiting its star very closely. This is 1/25th the distance between Mercury and the Sun in our solar system. Therefore the temperature of this planet is blazing at 1725 degrees Celsius. It is said to be the hottest rocky planet ever discovered. It is present in the Milky Way Galaxy and is 41 light years away from Earth.

During their search, scientists found this exoplanet which also showed signs of having an atmosphere. But ultimately it was said that no atmosphere can survive here. Because it is so close to its star that its atmosphere will be destroyed due to stellar radiation and winds. Despite this, the gases coming out of the lava present on its surface would have recreated its atmosphere. But one thing is clear about the planet that it is not habitable. Because it is so hot that water cannot remain in liquid form here which is very important for life to flourish.
