Astronomers Find 'Pi Planet' - rprosperi - 09-22-2020 05:42 PM
Pi seems to resonate well here, so I thought I'd share this:

It must be a very hot Pi(e), a 3-14 day orbit should be awfully close to its star so it'll be tidally locked and thus the day side will be a magma ocean at best (if rocky) or losing its atmosphere as an oversized "comet" (if a gaseous giant).
Very few options for it: either it gets evaporated till only a glowing solid core remains or else its orbit decays and eventually plunges into the star, never to be seen again.
Thanks for sharing and regards.
