A new astronomical object was discovered by chance during observations of the red dwarf GJ367. The new exoplanet resembles Mars in size, but it looks like Mercury in metals and appearance.
The planet is located near the Sun, the surface temperature is 1500 degrees, which excludes any form of life. In addition, this planet makes a complete revolution around its star in 8 hours.
The planet was given the name GJ367b. It is 2 times lighter than Earth, but at the same time exceeds Mercury in density. This suggests that 90% of the planet consists of iron.
