Scientists may have discovered a new type of planet beyond the solar system. The catch? It smells like rotten eggs
Exoplanet L98-59d, located far beyond our solar system, might not sound like someone’s dream destination. It likely has an underground ocean of magma, a surface temperature that reaches around 3,500 ...
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have validated over 100 exoplanets, including 31 newly detected planets, using a new ...

By applying machine learning to vast TESS datasets, researchers have built one of the most precise catalogs of nearby exoplanets to date.
Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten ...
Scientists have found an entirely new kind of planets. The worlds have a permanent ocean of magma inside of them, storing large amounts of sulphur. The example found by scientists is known as L 98-59 ...
A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a new type of planet beyond our solar system—one that stores large amounts of sulfur deep within a permanent ocean of magma. The findings have ...

Talk about a hot mess. Scientists have uncovered a hellish “lava world” where temperatures soar to a blistering 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit — hot enough to melt rock into a churning ocean of magma and ...
A team of astronomers led by the University of Oxford has identified a new class of liquid planet, a world defined not by oceans of water, but by a global reservoir of molten magma thousands of miles ...
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to investigate a new type of planet. This molten lava world beyond the solar system likely smells like rotten eggs, and suggests that there ...
