There is a relatively new exoplanet in terms of its date of discovery that has such peculiar qualities that the POT he has ended up adding it to his catalog of curiosities. We are talking about TOI-1075ba star where any human being would automatically triple their weight.
The Space Agency has made enormous strides in 2022 with the observation and discovery of new celestial bodies throughout our universe.
All this to a large extent thanks to the installation of the telescope James Webb and the scientific advances they have made in different fields to refine the process of exploration and analysis of infinity.
Among all the things that this entity studies, perhaps one of the bodies that provokes the greatest curiosity in us are exoplanets.
Since many times they have qualities that make us see as something possible that there is another place similar to Earth at some other point in the universe.
But on some occasions the Space Agency ends up discovering stars that are diametrically opposed to our home. And that is where we sometimes come across extraordinary stories, like the case we are reviewing today.
This is the magma-covered exoplanet TOI-1075b discovered by NASA
Not many know it, but the POT It has an online space catalogue, where it compiles all the interesting exoplanets it has discovered in its history. The site works similar to a kind of encyclopedia where relevant information about each star is found.
And now the Space Agency has just to update the entry dedicated to the curious exoplanet TOI-1075b with a series of more detailed data out of the ordinary.
It was known that this celestial body is located 200 light years from Earthbut now we know a little more impressive information.
For example, this exoplanet discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), We now know that it has a superheated surface covered in magma, where the temperature reaches approximately 1,050 degrees Celsius.
Another interesting point is that the exoplanet would take a total of 14.5 hours to go around its star, so that his years would last little more than half a day.
But perhaps the most impressive point is that TOI-1075b would be almost 10 times bigger than Earth. Specifically, it would have 9.95 times the mass of our planet, and would measure 1,791 terrestrial radii.
As a result, the weight of any terrestrial inhabitant would triple immediately. Although, objectively, it would be calcined by the high temperatures.
