Young transiting planet reshapes theories of planetary formation



Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 21, 2024
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have uncovered a striking discovery: a planet named TIDYE-1b, just 3 million years old - the planetary equivalent of a two-week-old baby. This unprecedented find challenges existing models of planet formation, which suggest that planets take much longer to form. Unlike Earth, which took 10 to 20 million years to develop, TIDYE-1b emerged in only 3 million years and completes an orbit around its star approximately every week. This discovery pr ... read more
