"Unveiling the Enigmatic Day-Night Cycle of a Tidally Locked Super-Earth"

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a Super-Earth exoplanet, LHS 3844b, which is tidally locked, with one side in perpetual sunlight and the other in eternal darkness. Located 49 light-years away, the planet orbits very close to its star and is unlikely to have a substantial atmosphere. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been investigating the planet and confirmed the existence of tidally locked exoplanets within the Milky Way. This discovery sheds light on the nature of super-Earths, which are of great interest to researchers for providing insights into early Earth and the potential for life beyond our solar system.
