Today is all about extremes and being extra. The first Etsy store fell from the sky and there’s a planet 850 light years from Earth that needs to chill.

Update! Move over Wasp-121b. 55 Cancri e is in waaay more of a hurry. This exoplanet takes a mere 18 hours to orbit its star, beating out ol' Waspy. The shortest confirmed orbital period is 10.9 hours, which belongs to Kepler-42c. Congrats to them all.
