Discovered a strange planet with 3 Suns in the summer that lasted up to 300 years

One morning in the summer, when you wake up, you go to the balcony, breathe some air and what is hot is burning your face? That is the Sun.

One morning in the summer, when you wake up, you go to the balcony, breathe some air and what is hot is burning your face? That is the Sun. You gradually feel the terrible heat coming out and suddenly realize that it's 10am now, the sky is starting to "melt fat".

But the fortunate Earth inhabitants are only one Sun, so imagine how miserable people on a planet with three Suns are? In addition to being happy to watch 3 dawn, 3 different sunsets, perhaps the summer heat must be 3 times stronger.

In addition to being happy to watch 3 dawn, 3 different sunsets, perhaps the summer heat must be 3 times stronger.

Scientists have discovered the strange planet has up to 3 suns, and the season on that planet is longer than a human life, the planet is named HD 131399Ab , 320 light years from our Earth.

A giant planet, like Jupiter, but only 4 times bigger than Jupiter. The planet outside the coldest solar system ever recorded by telescopes, but HD 131399Ab has a very hot temperature compared to human standards, nearly 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, about 537 degrees Celsius.

In short, HD 131399Ab can hardly survive life. But assuming that you can visit this planet and settle there, you will see the sky here is amazing: you will see sunlight all day or see the sunset three times, depending on you. in which season And every season on HD 131399Ab lasts about 300 years.

This is a giant planetarium, like Jupiter but only 4 times bigger than Jupiter.

HD 131399Ab revolves around the star HD 131399A , the brightest star in its Solar System, at a distance of about 7.6 billion miles, about 82 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

The other two stars in the Solar System are HD 131399B and HD 131399C , revolving around each other and spinning around HD 131399A with a distance of 300 to 400 times the distance from Earth to the Sun.

The diagram showing the Solar System with the color line is the orbit of the planet, the blue line is the orbit of the stars.The planet orbits the brightest star, HD 31399A.

This planet was discovered by the Southern European Observatory - ESO, located in northern Chile. ESO is supported by many European countries such as England, Germany, Portugal and some countries in the Americas such as Brazil, Chile.

Kevin Wagner, a Ph.D. student at the University of Arizona, who participated in the project, said: "If the planet is only away from the largest star orbit in the other system, it will be thrown into space. Our simulator shows that the orbits of these planets and stars are all stable, but if a small change occurs, the entire orbital system can become quickly deviated. fast ".

HD 131399Ab gives us the opportunity to learn about a planet similar to "young" Jupiter.

Whether they are stable or not, this finding helps scientists answer the question of how planets move orbits. Moreover, HD 131399Ab gives us the opportunity to learn about a planet similar to "Young Man" Jupiter . These data can be compared to what Juno sent from his Jupiter mission.
