Imagine a lava planet, with rocks raining down and wind howling at thousands of miles per hour. In the hunt for an Earth-like planet outside our solar system, scientists use clues from exoplanets ...

The scale and style of that volcanism has changed dramatically over that 4.5 billion years---heck, after Thera bumped into proto-Earth to form the Moon, we probably had a planet-wide lava lake as ...

The exoplanet, which is a super-Earth" 30% larger than our own Earth, orbits its star HD 104067 every 2.2 days at a distance of 4.57 million kilometers (2.8 million miles).It is joined by two ...

A new planet discovered by scientists has oceans of lava covering its surface. The hellish planet is called GJ 367b, and it’s roughly 30 light-years away from the Earth.

The planet HD 63433 d is tidally locked, meaning one side of it always faces its star while the other half always faces out into space, creating a huge difference in temperatures between the ...

At optical wavelengths you would be able to see a glowing, red-hot planet with a molten lava surface.” TOI-6713.01 has all of this volcanic activity in part because of its unusual orbit.

In a system with two known planets, astronomers spotted something new: A small object transiting across the sun-sized star. This turned out to be another planet, which was extra hot and Earth-sized.

NASA's exoplanet-hunting TESS probe has discovered an Earth-size alien world called HD 63433 d that's surprisingly young and has a hemisphere of hot lava.

Affectionately known as the “hell planet,” it orbits so close to its star that it reaches temperatures of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit and its surface is thought to be to covered in an ocean of lava.

There is indirect supporting evidence: Volcanic gases linger in Venus’s skies, and the way that parts of the planet glow suggests they were painted over by lava in the recent geologic past ...
