"Earth-Sized Exoplanet HD 63433 d: A Lava-Drenched Neighbor in Our Solar Backyard"

Astronomers have discovered a new Earth-sized planet, HD 63433d, orbiting a young sun-like star in the constellation Ursa Major. This planet offers a unique opportunity to study the early stages of planet evolution due to its close proximity to its star. The planet is tidally locked, with one side reaching temperatures of 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit and possibly flowing with lava, while the other side remains forever dark. The discovery was made using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, and researchers believe there is much to learn from further study of this planet and its star.

"Surprising Discovery: Earth-Sized Planet Found Nearby with Lava Atmosphere"

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet, HD 63433d, located just 73 light years away and orbiting a star similar to our Sun. The planet, part of the Ursa Major Moving Group, is the closest and youngest Earth-sized world ever found. While it may offer insights into early Earth, it is tidally-locked to its star, resulting in extreme temperatures and potential lava flows. Discovered using NASA's TESS, this finding opens up possibilities for studying nearby exoplanets and understanding their characteristics.
