A giant planet recently discovered 25,000 light-years from Earth, can provide clues about the formation of planets.

Named MOA-2011-BLG-322 , the planet is about 8 times the mass of Jupiter, while Jupiter is the solar system's largest planet, and has a ratio of one-third the sun's we.

According to Space.com, MOA-2011-BLG-322 was discovered by experts in Japan, New Zealand, Poland and Israel in 2011.

Data collected from various observations show that this giant world is more likely to be of the M type, the most popular planetary type in the universe.

It is thought to have an orbital distance of four times the central star from the sun to Earth.

The research results show that if such a giant planet could exist at that distance compared to the central star, then the current hypotheses about the formation of planets may be inaccurate.
