Residents of Ohio and Pennsylvania were alarmed as a likely meteor lit up the skies with a resounding ‘kaboom’ and vivid fireball, visible as far as Virginia and Canada. The National Weather Service confirmed the celestial event near Cleveland, prompting a surge of emergency calls.
In a separate astronomical discovery, scientists have identified a planet with a grotesque landscape orbiting a nearby star in the Milky Way. This ‘hellscape’ planet, located 34 light-years away in the Volans constellation, boasts an ocean of magma and a stifling sulfur-laden atmosphere.
The molten planet’s dimensions are noteworthy, measuring over 60% larger than Earth, yet possessing only about 40% of Earth’s density. Its sun is smaller and less luminous than ours, adding further intrigue to this fiery celestial body.
