Scientists have discovered that there is a planet named 55 Cancri e. Also known as Janssen.
It is an exoplanet orbiting a Sun- like host star, 55 Cancri A. It is located about 40 light-years from Earth.
That is often referred to as a “diamond planet.”
it was discovered on the 30th of August 2004. Making it the first super Earth discovered around a main sequence star.
it is the innermost planet in its planetary system. So it takes less than 18 hours to complete an orbit.
It’s believed to have a carbon-rich composition.
Scientists speculate that a large part of it could be made up of diamond due to the high pressure and temperatures.
The planet is incredibly close to its star. Which means it has a very high surface temperature.
Possibly around 2,400 degrees Celsius (4,352 degrees Fahrenheit).
