Astrophysicists discovered a giant planet – they don’t know how it was formed

Astronomers were amazed at the discovery of an air giant planet that wanders around a red dwarf star much smaller. This extremely rare combination raises new questions in astrophysics, as scientists find it difficult to explain how such a system can be formed. The star-6894 star looks very much like others in our galaxy. It is a red dwarf, a very small star, brightness and mass star, reaching only 20% of our sun. Planetologists have long been assumed that such stars do not provide the conditions necessary for the formation and “hosting” of giant planets. But an international group of astronomers identified the undisputed signature of a gas planet that revolves around the tiny Ti-6894, according to a study published today in the Nature Astronomy scientific journal. Ti-6894 is the smallest star that scientists know that has such a colossus in orbit around it. The giant planet, baptized on-6894b, has a slight radius […]
