Scientists discovered a mysterious giant planet

The discovery contradicts the generally accepted theory of the origin of the Universe.

Astronomers collaborating with scientists from English University of Warwick, found the planet, whose existence previously had a lot of doubts.

In addition, this discovery contradicts the generally accepted theory of the origin of the Universe.

So, the new giant gas planet was named NGTS-1b. It is located in the constellation of the Dove and was at a distance of 600 light years from Earth. The mass of the planet is 20% smaller than the mass of Jupiter, but in size they are comparable. The surface temperature of the planet is 800 K or 530°C.

Interestingly, compared with its star, a red dwarf NGTS-1, the planet is huge: NGTS-1b less than its stars only 785 times. For example, Jupiter is smaller than the Sun 1200 times.

Thus from its star a planet separated by a distance which is only 3%, which is between the earth and the Sun. It makes a full rotation around the star only 2.6 earth days.

Its existence celestial body refutes the theory, according to which planet such a mass cannot rotate around such small stars.

“The opening of the NGTS-1b was a complete surprise — we had not thought to find such a large planet from a small star. This casts doubt on what we know about planet formation,” commented the finding of Dr. Daniel Bayliss.
