The 5 most freaky planets in the world have been revealed in the last year

In 2019, astronomers have caught many strange and unimaginable exoplanets, far different from every object in the Solar System.

1. The planet "escapes"

In June, a study led by the University of Valparasío (Chile) identified a type of planet nicknamed the "ploonets". They are the moons . fleeing, leaving their planets and rushing towards that planet's parent star like an ephemera.

The fates of fleeing moons are often unlucky, most of which can only survive for 1 million years. Ploonets die in many ways: colliding with its former host and shattering, torn apart by the gravitational force of the host planet and the parent star of the planetary system, swallowed by its parent. However, a few have escaped, starting new orbits around the parent star, becoming a real planet even though perhaps, they are also destined, because scientists have captured the "light signature". " comes from the atmosphere and material lost from these " fleeing moons " .

2. The planet has . 3 suns

If you stand on a planet called LTT 1445Ab , 22.5 light years from Earth, you will see it has three red suns, one of which is very large, the other is dim and smaller. It is actually a red dwarf system, and the asteroid around one of the three stars takes only 5 days around the world. Because it is so close to the main star, even though it is just a red dwarf star much weaker than the sun, the planet's surface temperature also reaches 160 degrees Celsius.

3. "Distorted planet" looks like a . rugby ball

The planet, WASP-121b, discovered in August 2019 really surprised everyone, because it is not round but oval.

The strange shape is due to the location of the planet's star so close that it has been nearly torn apart by the gravitational pull of the parent star, distorting the original shape of the sphere. The monstrous planet's atmospheric temperature reaches 2,538 degrees Celsius, and it could soon be destroyed by a conflict with its parent star.

4. The planet whose mother is . the black hole monster

Research led by Kagoshima University (Japan) has proven the existence of a monstrous "solar system" in which there can be . 10,000 planets. Strangely, its center is not a star but a "monster black hole" - the nickname astronomers refer to as an extremely large and powerful supermassive black hole.

In order to survive without being swallowed, the nearest planets in this system must be at least 10-30 light-years from the "black hole sun", while our earth is only 0 from the sun, 00001581 light years!

5. The planet is equal to 4,134 times Earth is the son of "ghost mother"

Kepler's Space Telescope data, through analysis by astronomers from the University of São Paulo, revealed a "super-massive" planet, 13 times as massive as Jupiter, or 4,134 times our Earth. , whether it is a gas planet.

This planet has 2 mother stars, is a binary pair named KIC 10544976 , but only . 1 mother is alive. The living mother is a small red dwarf star, the light is weak, while the "ghost mother" is a white dwarf, which is just the remains of a star's body left after an old star is weak and explodes. supernova.

And maybe the true mother of this planet is the dead star: it was born from a supernova explosion, then lived off the "adoptive mother" alive.
