The "impossible" exoplanet – Space News from Electric Universe

the-impossible-exoplanet-space-news-from-electric-universe

International team of astronomers has found a planet further out than any other in a sun-like system, and it has many astronomers baffled. There were two things immediately puzzling about it: its mass, which came in at an immense 2 × 1025 metric tons (about 11 Jupiters or one-hundredth the mass of our Sun), and its orbit which is roughly 650 times the average distance from the Earth to the Sun (60 billion miles). 

According to everything astronomers think about planet and star formation, a planet as large as that ought not to have been able to form so far from its host star. This enigmatic giant is orbiting star HD 106906 and defying what astronomers know about the origins of planets.

"This system is especially fascinating because no model of either planet or star formation fully explains what we see," Vanessa Bailey, a fifth-year graduate student in the University of Arizona's astronomy department and the team's lead researcher, said in a written statement.

The team submitted their research for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

  1. If gravity would be modified based on its real physical cause then this observed fact would not be a surprise observation. The basic problem of physics today and the main cause for the widespread of physics myths is the current understanding of gravity. Quantum Mechanics and theories of relativity made the defects of Newtonian mechanics much worse and increased the mathematical fiction in physics

  2. Total mass, 11 times more than Jupiter… Too much for the planet. Too less for a star. Otherwise dark and distant from own star… So, I bet this is bronze star.
