The stars and the planet sit at the centre of a solar system in the Centaurus constellation. It orbits 'b Centauri,' a two-star system at least six times the mass of the sun, which researchers now say is the hottest and most massive planet-hosting system found to date. to find life on the planets of alpha Centauri (the star closest to earth). Scientists were left baffled after discovering a giant planet orbiting the hottest two-star system until now, no planet has been spotted around such a massive star, more than three times as big as the sun. The b Centauri (AB) b is an exoplanet, a planet that is placed outside our solar system. The exoplanet confused researchers because such a world should not exist. Located 325 light-years from Earth, it is moving around b Centauri.
Researchers said their findings show that planets can form in much more massive stellar systems than what previous results had made us believe. Being 10 times bigger than Jupiter makes it one of the biggest planets ever found. The observatory also said that the planet's orbit is “one of the widest yet discovered,” 100 times greater than the distance between Jupiter and the sun. “This large distance from the central pair of stars could be key to the planet's survival,” it added. The discovery was made in July and has been published formally in the journal Nature this week. Planet Centauri is a 2D sandbox RPG, seeks funding on IndieGoGo. “The discovery challenges existing models for how planets and stars form,” the researchers write in the science journal. Between Terraria and Starbound, were not exactly short of 2D creative RPGs.
