Lava planet has hydrogen-rich, active atmosphere
Its 2158, and youre chugging away on your PhD in Planetary Volcanology from the University of Utopia Planitia on Mars. Graduate students still get paid a sub-living wage, so youve been stuck eating freeze-dried ramen for the past three years. Youve completed studying Jupiters moon, Io, but now you have to leave the solar system for a good exoplanet analog. While Ios volcanism is caused by tidal heating, you need an exoplanet whose volcanism is caused by extreme heat from its host star. You recently secured funding from the Exoplanet Research Institute for a faster-than-light (FTL) ship, but the exoplanet is required to be less than 50 light-years away.
