- This exoplanet is about 2.5 times the mass of Earth, orbiting an extremely bright sun-like star. 53 times brighter than our sun.
A planet this massive normally would be expected to attract and hold gases in a settled atmosphere. But I predict that is not the case for this planet. The radiation from its host star (75 Ceti) is intense enough to erode any gases that might appear on the surface - which I am imagining would look very much like our own moon.
In addition to eroding gases from the surface, the star’s intense radiation would appear to wash out all reflected colors - of which there would be none - only white. Radiation of this intensity probably would quickly penetrate protective shielding on spacecraft, and protective suits on astronauts.
This is an extremely dangerous system that is best observed from a safe distance. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
