Scientists have released new research on the 'hell planet' and how the scorching hot 'super-Earth' became an orbiting ball of lava.
The rocky world, known as 55 Cancri e or its nickname 'Janssen', orbits its star so closely that a year lasts just 18 hours and has a surface that resembles a deep lava ocean.
It is thought that temperatures during the day average around 2573 Kelvin - or a whopping 2,300C.
