The new planet
WASP-17 is 1,000 light-years away from Earth and predictable to be twice the size of Jupiter which would make it the biggest known planet in the space, according to Space.com.
The functioning theory is that
WASP-17 was sent rotating in the wrong direction by a gravitational “close encounter.”
“Recently formed solar systems can be violent places,” Astronomer David Anderson of Britain’s Keele University said in a press release regarding the discovery his team made. “Our own moon is thought to have been created as a Mars-sized planet collided with the newly formed Earth and threw up a cloud of debris.
The
WASP 17 group of scientists used a battery of cameras that observe hundreds of thousands of stars, look for changes in light as planets leave behind in front of them when they made the discovery.
