🇺🇸ASTRONOMERS FIND “SUPER EARTH”

After years of searching, researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have finally found a rocky planet with an atmosphere outside our solar system.

The planet, called 55 Cancri e or Janssen, is almost nine times the size of Earth and has an atmosphere that is “likely rich in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, but can also have other gases such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide.”

The only downside is its surface temperature is about 3,140 degrees Fahrenheit.
