55 Cancri e is
a rocky world about eight times the size of Earth. It is the type of exoplanet known as a "super Earth." Despite
its ample size, nothing is "super" about the living conditions here.
Often nicknamed
the "hell planet," 55 Cancri e is completely covered in flowing seas
of lava, and it may even rain lava there as well. The
exoplanet is located 41 light-years from Earth, making it a popular target for
studies.
There are no
little green men on this lava covered planet.
