Dizeres De Incentivo Em Ingles
The British journal "Nature" published on Thursday 27 August a new discovery outside our solar system. This is a new planet, all this compared to others is a giant.
The planet called WASP-18b has a volume 10 times larger than Jupiter and orbits very close to its parent star, is one of the planets called "hot Jupiters." The orbit so close and should have destroyed the planet by stellar streams that must have been colliding with the star. According to a group of astronomers from the University of Keele in the UK, this should have already passed, but it is not. Planets like this are not very long lived, not spend a million years, say experts.
One reason could be that the ripples are not strong enough to drag the planet to its star and one that can be another exogenous factor that impedes the clash between these two celestial bodies. Still not published a picture on the giant planet.
