Scientists are puzzled
by the new discovery that could make using the space telescope Hubble. They
found outside our solar system planet, the conditions of origin of which modern
science can not yet explain. The report is published on the website of the Institute
Space Telescope. Cosmic body surprising origin was discovered during monitoring
situated at a distance of 176 light-years from Earth, the star TW Hydra.
Heavenly body, which exoplanet, is removed from the star is 12 billion
kilometers, reports the publication .
The Astrophysical Journal. The fact of
heterogeneity of gas and dust disk TW Hydra indicates the formation of the
planet. In the disk of gas and many small fragments, scientists spotted a long
hole, which is a direct evidence of the formation of the young planet.
According to the calculations of researchers, the approximate weight of a
celestial body is a 6 - 16 times the mass of our planet. Home puzzle TW Hydra
encountered by scientists, is her age - she was only 8 million years old,
which, as previously thought, astronomers, quite a bit for the formation of new
planets around the star. In addition, the stars, and she weighs very little:
its mass is less than the mass of the Sun is 55%. "If we have correctly
measured the mass, then it is just amazing. The existence of the detected
planets in the theory is simply impossible, "- the words of the Institute
of Astrophysics Science Carnegie Alan Boss publication The Daily Mail. Experts
are now to be clarified whether the planet is found exception. If so, all have
been accepted theory of planet formation will be subject to review and
revision.
