An undergraduate student has discovered a much younger planet than the existing one. Madyson Barber is an undergraduate student from the University of North Carolina in the United States.
For the past three years, she has been doing various research
on this universe. She has been very interested in finding new planets.
So, she has been researching whether there is any new planet
in the universe using NASA's telescope for the past three years.
As a result of her continuous research, she has discovered a
new planet. This new planet is orbiting a star and is very
far from Earth.
There are various stars far from Earth, and this new planet
is orbiting one of them.
The interesting thing about this planet is that it is considered the youngest planet discovered on Earth so far because scientists believe the age of a planet to be the time when it was formed.
If Earth were a 50-year-old person, this planet would be a
2-week-old baby. This is the difference between the age of the Earth and the
age of this planet.
This newly discovered planet has been named TIDYE-1b and says
that we are only just discovering it and there is still a lot to research about
it, says the student who discovered it, Madyson Barber.
The student says that the disk of this planet is confusing and strange to astronomers. Therefore, only if we study it further, we can come to a clear conclusion about this planet.
She said that she would use the world's largest telescope, the
James Webb Space Telescope, to research its origin and many other things.
Scientists say that discovering new types of planets like
this and researching this discovered young planet will help us know how the
Earth formed.
