Scientists discover previously unknown planet of very large size
An unexpected and incredible discovery.
Astronomers have discovered a giant planet that, they say, should not exist according to modern theories. This is reported by the BBC.
The giant planet discovered is located near an M-type red dwarf — the most common star in our galaxy.
“This is interesting because we have long wondered whether giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn can form around such small stars,” said Professor Peter Whitley of the University of Warwick, UK, who did not take part in the latest research.
Another scientist from Switzerland said that only planets the size of Earth or slightly larger should exist around such stars.
This discovery calls into question the widely held idea of planet formation.
Recently, the European Space Agency published new images of Mars, taken by their camera with Roscosmos on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter.
