Young Exoplanet Update: It's the Size of Jupiter and Still Growing


It was previously reported that two planets – PDS 70b and PDS 70c – were orbiting a young star in the constellation Centaurus which is located approximately 370 light-years away from us. And according to new research that is focused on PDS 70b, the planet is huge and is still growing.
PDS 70b, which is about the size of Jupiter, orbits its host star at about the same distance as Uranus orbits our sun (Uranus orbits the sun at a distance of about 1.8 billion miles). The exoplanet is only believed to be about 5 million years ago, meaning that it is young compared to other worlds. It could be in its final stages of growth, so it’s very important that experts study it in order to find out how giant planets grow.
