A team of astronomers has discovered a new planet roughly 35 light-years away that would make even the bravest explorer sweat. It appears to be composed entirely of molten lava.
With a surface temperature that would melt almost any known material, this discovery provides new insights into the diversity of planetary compositions in our galaxy. While you won’t be visiting anytime soon, you can explore the stars from home with these top-rated telescopes for beginners.
HOWE WEIRD REACTION
Howe Weird here… I complain when my coffee is 5 degrees too hot, and here we have a whole planet that’s basically a giant lava lamp. I’m just imagining the real estate market there. ‘Stunning views, central heating included (forever).’ It’s a beautiful, terrifying reminder of how insane the universe really is. Even Howe Weird couldn’t make this up.
