Episode Details

A groundbreaking discovery: A team led by a PhD student from the University of Galway has found a new gas giant planet, WISPIT two c, just five million years old and ten times the mass of Jupiter. This young planet, orbiting a young star in the Eagle constellation, is twice the size of its neighbor and orbits four times closer to the star. The team detected carbon monoxide gas, confirming it as a young planet, marking only the second known young system with multiple planets. This discovery offers a unique opportunity to observe massive planets forming and growing, providing insights into the early Solar Systems formation.
