Google News • 12/29/2025 – 12/30/2025
Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) examined a planet described as a "dead rock" and discovered it to be a lava-filled inferno. This ultra-hot lava world has a thick atmosphere, which contradicts previous expectations about such planets. The findings are reported by multiple sources, including The Daily Galaxy, Science News, Phys.org, IFLScience, and ScienceAlert.
