55 Cancri e is a rocky exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star approximately 40 light-years away. Its extremely short orbital period of just 17.8 hours – due to its proximity of 0.015 astronomical units – makes it notable for studying planetary formation around similar stars. The planet’s surface is beli...
