NASA came across a new peculiar object in the distant space, and it was not the Sun but rather an exoplanet filled with lava oceans that make it look like a giant ball of gas that centers the Solar System. As mesmerizing and outstanding as it is, the following target research and study of the James Webb Space Telescope is now.
NASA James Webb Telescope: Looking at an Exoplanet with Lava Oceans
A Super-hot Super-Earth exoplanet called "Cancri 55 e" is now making a massive significance over at NASA, and it is because the planet is a rocky structure that brings a scorching surface. It is unknown why the rocky world has a hot surface, but there are several speculations regarding its structure and make in the current times.
NASA will focus on studying the exoplanet via the James Webb Space Telescope, and the space agency aims to explain how it goes as hot as it is, without any external factors. The Earth is a rocky terrestrial planet but does not go as hot as the Cancri 55 e.
James Webb said that the level of hotness has already caused its rocky state to be molten and possibly rain lava on the exoplanet.

It is not the Sun, Rather an Exoplanet for James Webb to Explore
No, you are not looking at an image of the Sun; instead, it is an exoplanet that is 50 light-years away from the planet, something that James Webb is set to explore by setting its scopes to it.
The Cancri 55 e's structure amazes the scholars studying it, with multiple theories already set in place regarding its state.
James Webb and its Massive Discoveries
The primary purpose of the many space telescopes out in orbit or particular locations in space is to discover more of the celestial heavens than terrestrial telescopes can do. One of the latest missions of the James Webb space telescope is to explore the Solar System and discover more of what is hidden from the general public.
It is said that James Webb will replace the Hubble Space Telescope, but that is not the case now from NASA, as both spacecraft look into different regions and focus on other sights. Now, Webb and Hubble can concentrate on their various ventures, and both are looking into bringing a massive discovery to unknown regions that continue to get something new.
NASA sees a lot of telescopes under its arsenal to look into specific regions in space that catches its attention and will be a massive ground for research. Now, the latest focus of James Webb is not the Sun but something that resembles a big ball of gas.
It is an exoplanet far away but brings a radiating presence in space.
