A shocking new, Planet Nine times bigger than Jupiter is in formation process in Our Solar System
Our solar system is full of the mysteries of the Solar System. Every day scientists continue to discover such things, much to the astonishment of the world around us. Scientists have now identified the largest planet, about nine times the size of Jupiter (Jupiter as Large as the Alien Planet). This planet called AB Aurigae b is in a critical stage of its formation. Scientists believe that the planet is, in effect, still intact. These discoveries may solve the problem of planetary formation. Researchers have discovered the planet with the help of the Subaru Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope near the summit of a quiet Hawaiian volcano.
A study of the planet has revealed that the gas giant is surrounded by its new star. This giant gas ball is a planet, which is in the formation phase. Jupiter and Saturn, the largest planets in our solar system, are also large gases. They consist mainly of hydrogen and helium gases, surrounding a solid core.
Astronomer Thayne Curry of the Subaru Telescope and the NASA-Ames Research Center said we think it is too early for its birth process. He said in a study published in the popular scientific journal Nature Astronomy that evidence indicates that this large gas ball is in its early stages of formation. It is mounted on a huge disk of gas and dust, which is packed with elements that make up the planets.
He said the gas planet revolves around a star named AB Aurigae. This star is located 508 light years away. The light year is a large unit of measurement of distance. A light year is Approximately 95 trillion kilometers. About 5,000 planets are identified outside our solar system. Almost every known exoplanet orbits its stars in the distance that separates the Sun from its farthest planet, Neptune. But the planet is about three times the size of Neptune from the Sun and 93 times the distance from the Sun.
The star of this orbiting planet is about 2.4 times greater than the mass of our sun. It is about 20 million years old. Scientists believe that the Sun was surrounded by a new-born disk, from which other planets, including our Earth, were born. At the same time, scientists believe that new astronomical observations are always challenging our current theories. In such a case, we need to keep the discovery rate constant and pay close attention to research.
