WEIRDEST PLANETS discovered by NASA Kepler Satellite

WEIRDEST PLANETS discovered by NASA Kepler Satellite 






It was originally suggested that the planet known as HD 106906 b shouldn’t exist due to it’s size and distance from its star.


The giant planet is 650 times the distance from Earth to the sun and and is 11 times the size of Jupiter.
However, the average temperature on the planet is a staggering 1500 degrees celsius, despite its vast distance from it’s host star.

The planet is only 13 million years old – just a baby when you consider that the universe is over 14 billion years old – and is still baffling scientists to this day.
