Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) discovered LHS 3844b, a rocky exoplanet approximately 30% larger than Earth that orbits extremely close to its parent star, creating a tidally locked world with one side permanently scorched at over 1,300°F while the other remains in eternal darkness; the infrared spectrum analysis revealed no volcanic gases or thick atmosphere, indicating a completely inactive, bare surface rich in silicates, making it a giant, star-scorched twin of Mercury or our Moon.
