The structures we encounter as space exploration continues are often unexpected and remarkable is happening. While bright nebulae or newly emerging bright stars are of great interest, some new planetary discoveries have drawn more attention to scientists.

One of these discoveries HD 114082b called planet. Although it has close dimensions to Jupiter, scientists 8 times more He calls this planet, which has a mass and is 2 times denser than Earth, “super Jupiter”.

A new perspective on the formation of planets may be needed

from the solar system 310 million light years This planet is located in the constellation Centaurus. This planet orbits a Sun-like star and is a fairly young planet on a cosmic scale. SuperJupiter only 15 million years old. For comparison, the Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

This planet, whose size and mass astronomers have managed to calculate, Youngest planet whose size and mass can be measured to have succeeded. The results of the measurements were confusing to say the least.

From the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy Olga Zakhozhay According to research by and his team, this planet descends from a young gas giant. 2-3 times more intense has a structure. This means that gas giants can have rocky cores of unexpected sizes. Therefore, it is necessary to update the theories of the formation of planets.
