As reported on NASA’s Social Media account Friday (26/8/2022), they said, this planet is located 100 light years from Earth and is completely covered by a layer of very clear water.

The planet orbits one of two small stars located in the constellation Draco and was discovered by an international team of researchers.
The research team was led by Charles Cadieux, a doctoral student at the Université de Montréal and a member of the Institute for Exoplanet Research (iREx).
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s space telescope, TESS, allows researchers to scan deep space for near-Earth planetary systems.
Previously, NASA said that it had recently discovered a new planet, its surface conditions resembled “hell.”
Adapted from Phys, the planet is 50 light-years away, named 55 Cancri e and orbits very close to its “Sun-like star.”
Thus, the surface conditions are literally hell-like, a dimension in constant burning.
The data shows that 55 Cancri e is less than 1.5 million miles from its star or 1/25 of Mercury’s distance from the Sun.
“With surface temperatures well above the melting point, the daytime side of the planet is expected to be covered in a sea of lava,” NASA reports.
NASA argues, there is no planet like 55 Cancri e in the Solar System with such extreme conditions.
