Astronomers Stunned by Impossibly Large Exoplanet
TL;DR
Scientists have discovered a Neptune-sized planet, named LHS 3154b, that is 13 times the mass of Earth and orbits a tiny ultracool star. This finding challenges current theories of planet formation, as the dust disk around the star does not seem large enough to have created a planet of this size. The discovery was made using the Habitable Zone Planet Finder, raising new questions about our understanding of the universe.
