Let us know in the comments below. The two huge stars in b Centauri are relatively young (15 million years old). The images of the exoplanet were clicked by European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, the findings of which were published in Nature on Wednesday.ДЄlso read: ISRO Scientists Discover Exoplanet 1.4 Times Bigger Than Jupiter With an orbit distance of 83 billion miles (52 billion miles) between b Centauri b and the Centauri b star system, this is one of the widest orbits ever spotted by scientists.

For perspective, the exoplanet is 10 times bigger than Jupiter, making it one of the largest exoplanets ever to be discovered.ДЄlso read: A Year Or 365 Days On This Exoplanet Lasts For Less Than 8 Hours This is the first time a planet has been discovered around a star system so massive. Until now, no stars have been found orbiting stars that have mass thrice as big as our Sun. Together, both the stars have the weight equivalent to 6-10 times our Sun. The central star in this B Centauri is about thrice as hot as our sun. Why the planet 'b Centauri b' shouldn't exist But the discovery of a new planet, dubbed 'b Centauri b' changes a lot we know about the binary star system situated 325 light-years away. In fact, it is so hot that scientists find it hard to understand how a planet could exist around the binary star system. The only catch? The two-star system is considered too hot and massive to have a planet. The planet is visible as a bright dot in the lower right. The star pair is the bright object at top left. Discovered in the binary star system called 'B Centauri,' the planet is massive - just like everything else in the system. This image shows double-star system b Centauri and its giant planet b Centauri b. Scientists have found a planet that shouldn't exist it all.
