Every day scientist are discovering something new or find themselves successful in detecting something new..So here is a latest new for you..
Name of the planet is KEPLAR-410A b. It is an exoplanet..The planet is about the size of Neptune and orbits the brightest star in a double star system 425 light years from Earth.
By studying the star around which the planet revolves, they found that the star's rotation appears to be well-aligned with the planetary movement. The object can be well-studied because the star is relatively bright, it can be seen if strong binoculars are used. The planet orbits one star of what appears to be a binary star, and the orbit is not circular but slightly eccentric. The planet is a bit larger than our Earth, with a radius of about 2.8 times that of our planet. With a period of around 18 days, it is much closer to its star than Earth is to our sun, and therefore unlikely to be suitable for life due to its high temperature. Perturbations on the discovered planet indicate that there is likely another, as of yet unknown planet in the system. The star is around 2.7 giga-years old and is a little larger than the Sun. We will never be able to go there, as it is located at around 425 lightyears from Earth..But researches will be continued to explore more information about the exoplanets.
