Discovering new planets is 13 times larger than Jupiter

Scientists found the planet OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb in the middle of the Milky Way, 22,000 light-years from Earth.

Scientists discovered the new planet is 13 times the size of Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, in the center, according to Yahoo News. The new planet is called OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb , 22,000 light-years from Earth.

OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb revolves around a central star with an orbital cycle about three years. Scientists discovered the planet using microlensing , which measures the distortion of light when a star passes before another star.

The mass of this planet lies right at the "heavy hydrogen burning limit" , the planet's dividing convention. The researchers said that OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb could also be a brown dwarf, a celestial body larger than the planet but not large enough to sustain nuclear synthesis, causing the stars to burn.

"We report on the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb. This may be the first planet detected by the Milky Way bulge, which can be confirmed by two image stages with resolution. high of celestial bodies, "the team wrote.
