Largest DISCOVERED planet in the OBSERVABLE universe

Honestly 5 months was a lot shorter than I was expecting

It’s crazy how we’re just sitting in the middle of nowhere out in space

I went there on vacation last year. Rained the whole time. Avoid

The universe just constantly remind you there's always something bigger lurking around.

Imagine being the size of a star but you don't get to emit cool light beams 😡

Correction: Biggest exoplanet KNOWN to humans in the OBSERVABLE universe

EXCUSE ME?
5 MONTHS?
Dawg we are so damn small💀

[Famethyst]

Fun fact: With that mass the planet could actually become a star

Edit: I am assuming it is the highest mass, with 13x Jupiters mass it would be a brown dwarf

Don't wanna be that person but ty for 3.2K Likes <:^)

"Small" edit: 752 Jupiters would be a K-type star by the way. Universe Sandbox shows ROXs 42 B (AB) b way bigger. HD 100546 b is a brown dwarf in Universe Sandbox, which is way denser, also in real... space.

“almost summer already??”

Am I the only expecting him to say 285 years or something instead of 5months😅

[sebastiandelacruz]

5 months? Now thats a first class ticket i would pay for.

[ixthpatheditz]

Imagine you flew 2 months around that planet just to get catfished.

The NASA website does say that this object has 752 Jupiter masses. That has got to be an error, though, as it is three-quarters of the Sun's mass. Some other sources suggest the mass is about 60 Jupiter masses, which is more what one would expect for a brown dwarf.

[TrashBin]

Bro thats big enough to become a star 💀

[JonGlez]

Everything was ok... until he mentioned the mass. You see there’s this thing called the "stellar mass limit" which is the minimum mass at which an object can initiate nuclear fusion in its core and thus become a star. In terms of our Sun's mass, this limit is approximately 0.08 solar masses. One solar mass is approximately 1, 047.6 Jupiter masses. So, roughly speaking… the minimum mass for star formation would be 0.08 x 1047.56 which equals to 83.8 Jupiter masses.


84 Jupiter masses… Sure there might be a brown dwarf out there up to 100 Jupiter masses… but 752! That’s just wrong. A quick search about HD 100546b reveals its mass is well below that “84 Mj limit”. I know this is not common knowledge unless you are in a science field… but you would think a person making a video about such subject would at least know that.

If Earth's grav field strength is 9.8
What's this guys

Oooooh, new giant! Thanks for the update sweetie
