Discovered giant planet outside solar system




Astronomers have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, whose mass is 13 times greater than that of Jupiter. It said the site "RSN", citing U.S. media said on CROSS.

Scientists say this discovery will shed new light on the formation of new planets. The giant planet was discovered using a telescope that is mounted on top of a mountain in Hawaii.

We recall that so far identified more than 800 such planets outside our solar system, but few of them have been photographed.

According to experts, what prevents their more detailed study is that their light is "muted" the planets that revolve in their orbits.
