Nobody wants to go to hell – a damn permanent place or a new planet that scientists haven’t discovered recently.
Monthly Notices from the Royal Astronomical Society Research recently published by astronomers has found that Earth-like planets orbit near their host star, melting their surfaces and turning them into “lava planets”. One of the planets is called “K2-141b”.
K2-141b is located on the edge of our solar system. Scientists used computer models to predict conditions on the planet.

On one side of the planet, at night, temperatures can drop as low as -200 degrees Celsius. Towards the day of the “permanent sun”, temperatures can reach 3,000 degrees Celsius. Scientists say the rocks are hot enough to melt and evaporate, creating an “atmosphere”.
‘Our research means that atmospheric magma extends slightly beyond the coast and is easy to spot with space telescopes,’ said Professor Nicholas Cowan of McGill University’s Department of Earth and Planet Sciences.

But somehow, the sinful planet mimics the Earth in terms of rainfall.
Water on Earth evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, freezes and returns in the form of rain. In K2-141b, that “rain” contains sodium, silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide. On Earth, rain falls back into the ocean and the water cycle repeats itself. In K2-141b, the supersonic winds cause the “rain” to fall into the magmatic oceans, evaporating, before turning back into rock rain.
Scientists hope to study more about the planet and confirm their hypothesis that hell will not freeze the planet at this point.
