NASA Discovers 'Forbidden' Planet

Показать описание
Scientists have discovered a Jupiter-like planet that has left them scratching their heads and searching for answers. This planet is so intriguing that it’s been dubbed a “forbidden planet” and it’s located around 285 light-years away from our solar system.

The planet, currently known as TOI-5205b, was discovered by astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). What’s really fascinating about this gas giant is that it orbits its star in less than three days.

According to our current models, this planet shouldn’t even exist! Why? Well, it’s because it is orbiting a low mass red dwarf star, which means that it shouldn’t have been able to form around it. Instead, it should require a star with a much higher mass. This discovery is forcing scientists to update their planetary models and theories.

Who knows what other mysteries are waiting to be uncovered out there in the cosmos?

Maybe a rogue gas giant caught by this star. And even if this star is to be considered small, it is for sure way more massive than this gas giant. Just to put it into perspective, our Jupiter is by far the most massive planet in our solar system, but it's mass compared to the Sun is only 0.001%.

I kinda love how much of cosmological theory is falling apart lately. I’m excited to see new perspectives and new information as we continue to dig through the secrets of the universe.

Pretty dope we are making discoveries like this and these new.planets are just few lightyears outside our solar system.

"It shouldn't exist" good thing the planet doesn't know that.

There are millions more. This "new" planet has aged how many billions of E-years? It orbits in less than "3" days? Does that mean that this Forbidden planet has been scaled to its "own day"?
Perhaps there is a warp in effect that might not easily translate unto human Earth measures.
This is Not a standard application of our science.
There's a lot more to it.
How many K's is the mean temperature?
More questions please.

God, I love SpaceEngine. Such a cool thing that for CAD $30 and 4GB you can have the *u n i v e r s e* on your computer.
