Once basaltic melts erupt on an exoplanet and cool down, the basalts harden into solid rock, known on Earth as lava. This rock can interact with water, if present, which forms new hydrated minerals ...

identify exoplanets orbiting the brightest stars just outside our solar system. Discovered in the constellation of Vela, TOI-1231 b orbits its star every 24 days. That makes it unusually cool.
