Astronomers discovered that the outer planet is 3 times hotter than the Sun.

A newly discovered exoplanet is named LTT 1445 Ab, orbiting its parent star to form a newly discovered three-star system that has three times the heat of the Sun.

Scientists from the Harvard Astrophysics Center used NASA's satellite satellite telescope (TESS) to detect extrasensory LTT 1445 A b and 3 related stars. LTT 1445 A b is about 22 light years from Earth.

Scientists have just discovered a planet with 3 times the sun's heat.

While the planet itself is still in orbit around its star, the star is farther away, the two stars are locked in orbit close to each other. NASA notes that LTT 1445 A b is about 1.4 times the size of Earth.

This is not the first time a planet has more than one star discovered. NASA notes that our nearest alien planet named Proxima b, also has 3 stars in the sky.

Proxima b revolves around Proxima Centauri located 4.25 light-years from Earth, orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B.

Previously, in 2016, experts from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and San Diego University used the Kepler Space Telescope to detect Kepler-1647 b, a planet with two Suns in it. Constellation Cygnus.
