Scientists from NASA and ESA have the younger planet of our galaxy. Birth only goes back to 1.5 million years ago. In astronomy it is a very young age. The Earth has 4 billion. It’s a cool planet, still shrouded in dusty gas blocks.
It’s like looking at our past.
Myriam Benisty, expert from the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble in France and co-author of the study
To locate the celestial body, scientists used the ALMA telescope. The star taken as a reference is named AS 209. Then it is surrounded by a circular disk, a ring of dust and gas. Scientists found that the star began to burn hydrogen. An element that confirms the young age of the star. Such a young planet has never been identified before, further studies will provide new answers on this topic.
Research on the young planet began in 2021 with the Chilean Alma telescope. This is sensitive enough to radio waves of the cosmos. They are used to having a lot of information about celestial bodies. In practice, the research turns out to provide many more questions than answers. The newborn planet is strangely distant from its parent star. Scientists will soon be pointing the James Webb Space Telescope at the solar system. If we learn a little more about this world that is still in the making, we will also discover a lot about ours.
