Alien planet 11 times bigger than Jupiter found in bizarre, massive orbit

An enormous alien planet — one that is 11 times more massive than Jupiter — was discovered in the most distant orbit yet found around a single parent star.

The newfound exoplanet, dubbed HD 106906 b, dwarfs any planetary body in the solar system, and circles its star at a distance that is 650 times the average distance between the Earth and the sun. The existence of such a massive and distantly orbiting planet raises new questions about how these bizarre worlds are formed, the researchers said.

"This system is especially fascinating because no model of either planet or star formation fully explains what we see," study lead researcher Vanessa Bailey, a fifth-year graduate student in the University of Arizona's department of astronomy, said in a statement.

You have now revealed the planet where the alien life forms of Sal and Markle are from. Great job. Looks like we will have to call in Lord Vader and the Death Star to handle this problem

The orbit of this planet defies all that has been thought to be true about planets and how they react.

and I am not disagreeing with you, but so does the Death Star, lol

occasionally come along a star that just is in its own orbit LOL

science is not as perfect as it pretends, but its interesting.

Shoot, that's not so big. One morning after drinking nearly a whole bottle of Merde del Toros Tequila the night before my head was fifteen times bigger than Jupiter.
