The extremely hot star 55 Cancri e orbits a distant star in the constellation Cancer, located about 40 light-years from Earth. This planet has oceans of lava and is popularly called hell. It should be noted that the distance between 55 Cancri and its star is only 2% of the distance between Earth and the Sun. It has eight times the mass of Earth and its surface is rocky. It was discovered in 2004 in orbit around the star Copernicus located in the constellation of Cancer. The mysterious signals of this exoplanet – that is, a planet that orbits around other stars – are, according to the hypothesis of specialists, light that passes through the atmosphere of a celestial body and is visible from Earth and captured during the passage 55 Cancri e in front of its host star in a kind of eclipse. The problem is that the atmosphere is literally created by the volcanoes that cover the surface of this distant world. By regular reactivation, they apparently spit out the hot, carbon-rich gas that makes up their atmosphere. Once this atmosphere disappears due to the high temperatures caused by the planet’s extremely close orbit to its star, the process repeats itself, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. In other words, this exoplanet’s atmosphere is very unstable, constantly forming and evaporating, causing a kind a flicker of light that is recorded on Earth. The fact that an exoplanet orbits its star at a very close distance, orbiting it in just 18 hours, essentially means that a year on this planet lasts Since the surface temperature of the planet appears to be much higher than the melting point of typical rock-forming minerals, is the day side of 55 Cancri e covered by oceans of lava. As for its core, it is believed to consist of diamonds. The researchers noted that the theory explaining the signals needs to be tested using the James Webb Space Telescope. Once the temperature and pressure of the planet’s atmosphere are measured, scientists will be able to definitively determine the timing of the existence of an atmosphere on the hellish planet. Starting in May 2022, NASA said it will study 55 Cancri e, which has such distinctive features thanks to visible fire since its discovery more than a decade ago.

One of the most notable to study is the planet Hell, or 55 Cancri e, which has been sending out strange signals for nearly two decades. It seems that researchers are getting closer to uncovering the secrets of a distant world.
He 55 Cancri e It is extremely hot and orbits a distant star in the constellation Cancer, located about 40 light-years from Earth. This planet has oceans of lava and is popularly called Hell.
It should be noted that the distance between 55 Cancri and its star is only 2% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It has a mass eight times that of Earth and its surface is rocky. It was discovered in 2004 in orbit around the star Copernicus located in the constellation of Cancer.
According to the hypothesis of specialists, it is mysterious signs of this exoplanet – that is, a planet that orbits other stars – is the light that passes through the atmosphere of a celestial body and is visible from Earth and captured at 55 Cancri e passes in front of its host star in a type of eclipse.
The problem is that the atmosphere is literal formed by volcanoes that cover the surface of this distant world. By regular reactivation, they apparently spit out the hot, carbon-rich gas that makes up their atmosphere. It will be one day the atmosphere disappears Due to the high temperatures caused by the planet’s extremely close orbit to its star, the process repeats itself, suggests a study published in the journal Science Astrophysical Journal Letters.
In other words, the atmosphere of this exoplanet is very unstable, constantly forming and evaporating, causing a kind of flash of light recorded on Earth.
He 55 Cancer (55 Cancri, Latin) is a binary star system from the constellation of Cancer. It is located at a distance of approx 40.12 light years from the Sun. The system includes the Sun-like star 55 Cancer A, which is called Copernicus and red dwarf 55 Cancer B.
The fact that an exoplanet orbits its star at a very close distance gives a around it in just 18 hoursbasically means that a year on this planet is exactly the same length of time.
Since the planet’s surface temperature appears to be much higher than the melting point of typical rock-forming minerals, dayside 55 Cancri e covered by oceans of lava. As for its core, it is believed to consist of diamonds.
The researchers noted that the theory explaining the signals needed to be tested using the James Webb Space Telescope. Once the temperature and pressure of the planet’s atmosphere are measured, scientists will be able to definitively determine the timing of the existence of an atmosphere on the hellish planet.
