Ilustración que muestra cómo podría verse Exoplanet LHS 3844 B, según la comprensión actual del planeta.
LHS 3844 B es un planeta rocoso con un diámetro 1.3 veces mayor que la tierra orbitan 0.006 unidades astronómicas de su estrella dwarf roja fría. El planeta está caliente, con temperaturas de días calculadas para ser más de 1,000 grados Fahrenheit (más de aproximadamente 525 grados centígrados).
Estudios anteriores muestran que es poco probable que el planeta tenga una atmósfera sustancial y que la superficie puede estar compuesta de roca oscura, tal vez basáltica.
Las observaciones del espectro de emisión térmica del planeta utilizando el instrumento de infrarrojo medio de Webb (MIRI) proporcionarán más evidencia para ayudar a determinar de qué está hecha la superficie.

| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. |
| Object Description | The type of astronomical object. |
| R.A. Position | Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Dec. Position | Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Constellation | One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. |
| Distance | The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. |
| Dimensions | The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. |
| About The Data | |
| Data Description |
|
| Instrument | The science instrument used to produce the data. |
| Exposure Dates | The date(s) that the telescope made its observations and the total exposure time. |
| Filters | The camera filters that were used in the science observations. |
| About The Image | |
| Image Credit | The primary individuals and institutions responsible for the content. |
| Publication Date | The date and time the release content became public. |
| Color Info | A brief description of the methods used to convert telescope data into the color image being presented. |
| Orientation | The rotation of the image on the sky with respect to the north pole of the celestial sphere. |
