Looking Up - 15 May 24 - 55 Cancri e is an odd one

--:--
We are finding out more about planets outside of our solar system. 55 Cancri e is an odd one: it orbits its sun once every 17 Earth hours, and is only 2.3 kms away - can you imagine that? I wonder what it sounds like there. You would definitely not want to visit. It has a molton lava surface and is possibly made out of diamond!
