Astronomers discovered a planet that shouldn’t exist

Scientists have discovered a Jupiter-like “forbidden planet” around 285 light-years from our solar system. The newly discovered gas giant was revealed by astronomers utilizing NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and is currently known as TOI-5205b.
Part of what makes this forbidden planet so enticing is the fact that it has left many scientists scratching their heads and searching for answers. That’s because the gas giant, which is roughly the same size as Jupiter, orbits its star in less than three days. The researchers detailed the finding of the exoplanet in a paper published on the pre-print server arXiv.
