Discover a new planet

German astronomers have discovered a new planet arising in a solar system and are in the process of being formed. This is the first time this type of planetary formation has been discovered.

Scientists believe that the planets that develop between the whirlpools of dust and gas around newly emerging stars. Therefore, studying newly formed planets can know a lot about the evolution and development of planetary systems - including the solar system that we live in.

The study of this new planet was carried out by German astronomers and published in detail in the Journal of Nature.

Mr. Johnny Setiawan, Max Planck Astronomical Academy in Heidelberg and colleagues said: the new planet has nearly ten times the mass of Jupiter (Jupiter) and turns around the star TW Hydrae - a newly formed star this way. about 8-10 million years. Why is the TW Hydrae in the constellation Hydra, about 182 light-years away?

The new orbiting planet around the TW Hydrae with a period of about 3.65 days and a distance of about 6 million km, calculated by the edge of the system's vortex dust.

Scientists say that through this study we see a planet that can be formed very quickly. When a star is broken, a new planet can be formed before the surrounding stars can absorb all the debris and dust. This also shows that planets can be formed in about ten million years, before the dust and gas vortex is blown away and the radiation of stars dissipates.

These observations were recorded from the 2.2-meter Max-Planck-Gesellschaft telescope at the Southern European Observatory in Chile.
