The largest solar system in the universe

Australian scientists discovered a planet orbiting a parent star at a billion billion kilometers, 7,000 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

At first, the team believed that the planet was named 2MASS J2126-8140 wandering indefinitely in the universe and there was no parent star. Later, they were surprised to find it around a red dwarf with the symbol TYC 9486-927-1. The distance between this planet and the parent star is 7,000 times greater than the distance between the Earth and the Sun, according to the January 16 edition of the Royal Astronomical Society of the UK.

This distance is so great that the time for the planet to run out of orbit lasts nearly a million years. In other words, a family will experience 13,000 generations before 2MASS J2126-8140 completes orbit around TYC 9486-927-1.

The new solar system is three times larger than the previously recorded record."We are extremely surprised to find a celestial body so far from our parent star," International Business Times quoted researcher Simon Murphy of Australian National University.

The team found that both the planet and its parent star are 100 million light years from Earth. They measured both their movements and quickly confirmed their relationship.

"We speculated that they formed 10-45 million years ago and were driven by the same direction , " Murphy said. "They don't have to exist in a dense environment. Their bonds are so fragile that any nearby star can completely disrupt their trajectory."
