A Planet So Big It Is Probably a Failed Star! ROXs 42Bb #spaceexploration #space #planets

ROXs 42Bb is a massive exoplanet, sometimes referred to as a "super-Jupiter," located about 440 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It orbits a young, low-mass star known as ROXs 42B. This planet is notable for its large mass, estimated to be around 9 times that of Jupiter, and its distant orbit, which is approximately 150 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. ROXs 42Bb is part of a small but intriguing group of exoplanets that challenge traditional planet formation theories, particularly due to its wide separation from its parent star.

It’s absolutely insane to think that we have actual pictures of Exoplanets

I remember back when exoplanets were only theories, now we can see them visually, it's amazing.

[eenayeah]

Actual picture of an exoplanet is INSANE. That is one big mf.

A failed star? That's how my parents would classify me if I was a celestial body!

[racheljensen]

I thought poor Pluto had it bad being downgraded, but to called a "failed star", that's just gotta hurt lol

“You can clearly see…”, we can’t be looking at the same image. 🧐🤨

[IainThomson-dcge]

Wow a planet that is bigger than jupiter

These developers and studios need to freaking learn to stop working with PlayStation. They don’t buy games, they get fooled by the sales and don’t look at the analytics

Jupiter is famously considered a failed star.
