💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌍🔭 Researchers from the University of #Cambridge studied the four #planets orbiting Barnard’s Star, the closest single #star system to our own.
They found the planets are rich in #magnesium and #periclase, lack atmospheres, and orbit so close to their star that they are tidally locked with one side in constant daylight.
