Forty light years from Earth, a rocky world named "55 Cancri e" circles perilously close to a stellar inferno. Completing one orbit in only 18 hours, the alien planet is 26 times closer to its parent star than Mercury is to the Sun. If Earth were in the same position, the soil beneath our feet would heat up to about 3200 F. Researchers have long thought that 55 Cancri e must be a wasteland of parched rock.

A new study on the super-Earth-class extrasolar planet 55 Cancri e reveals that the alien world is not the extremely hot desert that astronomers first made it out to be. The exoplanet is apparently wetter than anyone believed, which makes it extremely weird.

STAR 55 CANCRI
Star 55 Cancri: As one of the many Acrylics On Cement series this painting was created on Thanksgiving Day, 2007. The process includes applying cement to the canvas and then painting acrylics, by feeling, until the image becomes pleasing to the emotional / intuitive senses. Only 12 inches by 9 inches in size, this painting has a powerful impact on the psyche due to its rich colors relative to astronomical content. . . . . . .
The Star 55 Cancri, an extrasolar planet located in the constellation Cancer, is 41 light years from Earth and is about 5-billion years old. The planet is a gas-giant slightly smaller than the mass of Jupiter and whips around the star in 14.6 days at a distance only one-tenth that from Earth to the Sun. On November 13, 2007 an entirely new planet was observed orbiting this star making it the first known planetary quintet outside our own solar system, according to astronomers. This makes the star the second one apart from our sun to have five planets in its system.
