A recent discovery by astronomers has left the scientific community in awe as they found an alien planet that is forming at an incredibly fast rate, challenging the current theories of planetary formation. According to the key facts, the planet is expected to form within 3 million years, which is significantly faster than the estimated time it takes for planets to form in our solar system. The newly discovered planet is massive, with a mass ranging from 10 to 20 times that of Earth. Furthermore, the host star is predicted to evolve into an orange dwarf, which is a different type of star than the sun. Additionally, the star has a mass of 70% of the sun's mass and a luminosity that is half of the sun's. This extraordinary discovery has sparked a lot of interest among astronomers and scientists, who are eager to learn more about this fascinating celestial body and the processes that led to its formation.
