While research into the universe, about which we still know very little, continues unabated, we see interesting discoveries being made. A recent discovery by NASA is one of them.

astronomers, 164 light years away revolve around a starWASP-69b” He discovered a new exoplanet called. What makes this planet interesting is that it is a “of your tail” are.

It loses about 200,000 tons of gas per second, and the length of its tail reaches 563 thousand kilometers.

WASP-69 b, of which you can see an artist’s depiction in the image above, has a very long tail. This tail belongs to the planet gradually loses its atmosphere consisting of hydrogen and helium particles and was formed by the effect of the strong stellar winds that blew across the planet. In this way, a planet that resembled a comet was created.

WASP-69 b is a hot Jupiter We can say. This means it is a gas giant close to the mass of Jupiter. The location is the orbit of a star in the constellation Aquarius, 164 light years away. It orbits this star at a much closer distance. So the temperature rises quickly. The amount of radiation emitted by the star causes the gases to evaporate and leave a trace on the planet.

Scientists say exoplanet It loses an estimated 200,000 tons of gas per second. they guess. Moreover The mass lost in a billion years is equivalent to one Earth mass. They also said that this is true and that is why the gas in the atmosphere will probably never run out. Let’s add that its total mass is 90 times greater than that of our planet.

The length of his tail really says “Wow!” The kind that makes you say. So according to estimates A tail of 563 thousand, 270 kilometers long People think so. This is the distance between the Earth and the moon almost 1.5 times It means distance.
