Scientists discover huge new rocky planet dubbed "Godzilla of Earths"

Scientists have discovered a new planet that weighs 17 times as much as Earth. Dubbed the “Godzilla of Earths” (officially known by its more boring name – Kepler-10c), the planet is a new type of huge and rocky alien world that is about 560 light-years from Earth. Scientists have always thought that a planet the size of Kepler-10c would be gaseous, collecting hydrogen as they grew and eventually becoming gassy Jupiter-like planets. They were surprised to find that despite its gargantuan size, Kepler-10c is a solid, rocky beast.
