Big Planet revolves a small star: Scientists discovered a rare pair in Milky Way Galaxy
Astronomers on Wednesday discovered a huge planet revolving around a small star. This strange pair has surprised scientists. Small stars are called Toi-6894Most stars in Milky Way galaxy Toi-6894 are small. It is a red dwarf in which the mass of the sun is only 20 percent. Scientists never thought that such small stars could support planets on a large scale.However, a team of international astronomers found a clear indication Gas giant planets Small star toi-6894 circumambulation. His findings were published in the magazine ‘Nature astronomy,This discovery makes Toi-6894 the smallest known star to host such a large planet.The planet has a slightly larger radius than Saturn, but its weight is only half mass. It revolves around the star very quickly- once every three days. Astronomers discovered the planet by observing more than 91,000 small observation Red dwarf star From NASA’s Tes Space Telescope. The existence of the planet was confirmed by ground-based telescopes including Chile’s observatory ‘very large binoculars’. Daniel Beilyis, co-writer at the UK’s Warvic University study, said, “This star hosts a huge planet, which is large implications for the total number of huge planets in our Galaxy.” Another co-writer, Vincent van of University College London, Ilane said it was a “complicated discovery”.“We do not really understand how a star with such a low mass can make such a huge planet!” Eylen said.“This is one of the goals of search for more exoplanetsHe said that by finding the planetary systems separate from our solar system, we can test our model and better understand how our own solar system is formed “, he said. Scientists hope that such discoveries will help them understand how planets – our own solar system – is formed.
Why is TOI-6894B special?
The new planet named Toi-6894B is special because it is much colder than most other planets found outside our solar system. Researchers reported that most planets are warm, with temperatures above 1,000 ° C. However, the newly discovered planet appears to be lower than 150 ° C.That cooler temperature means that scientists may be able to detect chemicals such as ammonia in their environment – had never been seen before in the planets outside our solar system. James Web Space Telescope The next year is expected to inspect this planet, which can help scientists to highlight more mysteries of this strange planet.
