Multiplanetary system with largest range of semi-major axis (largest difference between the star's nearest planet and its farthest planet) TYC 8998-760-1: b, c: 1 TYC 8998-760-1 b and c have a semi-major axis of ~162 and ~320 AU, respectively. [1] The separation between closest and furthest is around 158 AU. System with smallest total planetary ...
K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb is the most distant exoplanet discovered by the Kepler space telescope, being twice the distance of its previous record.Its distance is estimated at 16,960 ly from the Earth, being discovered on January 4, 2022, thanks to an effect of gravitational microlensing from a series of data recorded in 2016, then revealed on March 31, 2022.
From Kepler's Third Law, it was finally determined that Saturn is indeed the outermost of the classical planets, and its distance derived. It had only previously been conjectured to be the outermost, due to it having the longest orbital period, and slowest orbital motion. It had been determined that the stars were much farther away than the ...
2018 AG 37 is a distant trans-Neptunian object and centaur that was discovered 132.2 ± 1.5 AU (19.78 ± 0.22 billion km) from the Sun, [8] farther than any other currently observable known object in the Solar System.
It wasn't long ago that astronomers detected the presence of what was then considered the most distant object in our solar system. The object, called 2018 VG18, was given the fitting nickname of ...
First confirmed planet ever discovered outside the Solar System together with the less massive Draugr (PSR B1257+12 b), one of three pulsar planets known to be orbiting the pulsar Lich (PSR B1257+12). [250] [251] Unclear whether Lich planets are survivors or formed in a second round of planet formation from the remnants of the supernova. (1989 ...
The planet is in a circumbinary orbit around the two stars of PSR B1620-26 (which are a pulsar (PSR B1620-26 A) and a white dwarf (WD B1620-26)) and is the first circumbinary planet ever confirmed. It is also the first planet found in a globular cluster. The planet is one of the oldest known extrasolar planets, believed to be about 12.7 billion ...
A European Space Agency satellite has observed the shiniest exoplanet ever discovered. The scorching world has reflective clouds made of silicates and titanium.
