The planet, HD 63433 d, is one-tenth Earth's age, exponentially hotter, and likely burbling molten lava on one side. A year on this world would fly by in just four Earth days.

This star is 24% larger than the sun, and HD 86728 b orbits even closer than Mercury in our solar system. A year on this world, which is nine times more massive than Earth, is just 31.15 Earth ...

Those measurements confirmed that a Jupiter-sized planet was orbiting the star and that its orbit was highly eccentric, bringing the planet extremely close to the star before flinging it far out.

Its proximity to its host star, 13 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun, means temperatures on HD 189733b can hit 930 degrees Celsius. "They are quite rare," Dr Fu said of hot Jupiters.

HD 189733 b, a "hot Jupiter" located 64 light-years from Earth, has long fascinated astronomers due to its extreme conditions. The planet orbits its star at a distance 13 times closer than Mercury is ...
