Discovered 'stunned' about planet formation

Planets can orbit their stars in the opposite direction to the one we have known in the solar system.

The discovery was staggering in the world of scientific science of the Observatory of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, because it reconsidered the doctrine of forming previously recognized planets.

The results of 27 extrasolar planets have surprised astronomers from the University of Geneva. Six of the 27 planets did not revolve around their stars in the way we used to know in the solar system but in the opposite direction.

Swiss scientists believe that the findings will force the scientific world to review their theories about the formation of planets.

Previously, planets formed in disks of dust and gas revolving around their young stars. The disk and the star simultaneously revolve around the same axis.

Astronomers speculate that planets are formed in this dish and still rotate in the same direction around their star. This is the case in our solar system.

However, new findings by Swiss scientists say the opposite of this view. This finding will no longer be compatible with the doctrine that has been recognized so far, but it helps explain the phenomenon of certain types of extrasolar planets found on a rotating axis close to their throne.

Researchers from the Geneva Observatory have proposed a complex alternate theory to explain this process. However, this doctrine will lead to a resumption of research into life in the universe.
