A team led by researchers from Northwestern University in Illinois made this discovery while observing a still-forming planet and the disk of natal material in which it sits.
PDS 70b , a gas giant with around three times the mass and width of Jupiter located 369 light-years away from us.
The revelation seems to indicate that the planet formation model favored by scientists may be overly simple.
The researchers' next step is to examine the star system PDS 70 more closely.
The team's research was published on Wednesday ( Dec. 18 ) in the Astrophysical Journal Letters .
By studying these two planets together, we can understand the system’s formation history even better.
