Astronomers have confirmed the first solid-rock planet outside of our solar system. They are calling it the lava planet because its surface temperature is 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. But it’s a dry heat.
The news of this planet’s existence is very exciting, especially to novelty gift manufacturers who want to mine the surface material to put it in lava lamps.
Scientists say that the temperature extremes make it impossible for any life to exist on the planet. Even if it did, their sunscreen costs and air conditioning bills would have killed them.
