An international team of astronomers has reported the detection of a new super-Jupiter exoplanet as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newfound alien world, located some 1,430 light years away, is nearly four times as massive as Jupiter and is estimated to be only millions of years old. The discovery was detailed in a paper published November 13 on the pre-print server arXiv.

Astronomers detect a distant young super-Jupiter exoplanet

Astronomers have spotted orbiting around a young star a newborn planet that took only 3 million years to form - quite swift in cosmic terms - in a discovery that challenges the current understanding of the speed of planetary formation. This infant world, estimated at around 10 to 20 times the mass of Earth, is one of the youngest planets beyond our solar system - called exoplanets - ever discovered. It resides alongside the remnants of the disk …

This Alien Planet Has Astronomers Puzzled. Defies Current Understanding Of Physics

Astronomers have discovered a newborn planet around a young star that took just 3 million years to form, a rapid feat in cosmic time. The discovery challenges current understanding of how quickly planets form.

天文學家在一顆年輕的恆星周圍發現了一顆新生行星，這顆行星的形成僅花費了300萬年，用宇宙時間尺度來衡量相當迅速。這一發現挑戰了目前人類對行星形成速度的理解。

Scientists discover a baby exoplanet "just" 3 million years old

Astronomers have made a remarkable new discovery. Using data from the TESS space mission and ground-based observations by the HARPS spectrograph in Chile, it was possible to confirm the existence of a mini-Neptune exoplanet (i.e. a planet outside the Solar System), named TOI-2458 b. This discovery provides new insights into possible scenarios for the formation of planetary systems, in in this case the TOI-2458 system.

Astronomové mají za sebou nový pozoruhodný objev. Pomocí dat z vesmírné mise TESS a pozemských pozorování spektrografem HARPS v Chile se podařilo potvrdit existenci exoplanety (tj. planety mimo Sluneční soustavu) typu mini-neptun, pojmenované TOI-2458 b. Tento objev přináší nové poznatky o možných scénářích formování planetárních systémů, v tomto případě systému TOI-2458.

Mini-Neptune and Lost Jupiter. Astronomers have discovered more exoplanets

Ismail Sen/Anadolu via Getty Images (CHAPEL HILL, N.C.) — Madyson Barber, a grad student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was researching young transiting systems in space when she made a remarkable discovery. Barber used data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to observe the brightness of stars over time. During the observations, Barber noticed some “little dips” in brightness, indicating that a “transiting” pl…

Planet 10 times the size of Earth is one of the youngest ever found

A huge planet with a long name – IRAS 04125+2902 b – is really just a baby: only 3 million years old. And because such infant worlds are usually hidden inside obscuring disks of debris, it is the youngest planet so far discovered using the dominant method of planet detection.
The massive planet,…
