Another exoplanet of note was discovered recently, and it’s just cool. Well, not cool as in temperature. In that case, it’s really hot. A new paper reveals that this exoplanet, LHS 3844b, might be the first example of another world with global tectonics.

The planet’s interior properties and the strong stellar irradiation might lead to a hemispheric tectonic regime.
