Sorry, Spock, but planet Vulcan’s real-life doppelgänger doesn’t exist

This is going to disappoint Trekkies everywhere, but what was thought to be a real-life version of the exoplanet Spock calls home is actually not a planet at all. 

Vulcan (for the uninitiated) is the planet in the “Star Trek” universe which orbits the actual star 40 Eridani A. When a research team thought they had discovered a real-life version of that planet, 40 Eri b, in 2018, it thrilled the entire fandom.
