Scientists from Japan and the Netherlands took up the study of the new celestial body, exoplanets.
It is an object of the giant rings rotating in different directions.
The first planet was discovered in 2007, but for a long time, studying this phenomenon, researchers decided to announce their results just now. The fact is that astronomers still cannot come to a common mind about how to classify a space object: exoplanet, brown dwarf or gas giant. Exoplanet located at a distance of 434 light-years from Earth, near the star J1407.
It is noteworthy that the rings rotate in different directions, and an unusual curve, which perhaps makes the gravity on the object is not very stable. This structure of the exoplanet and its rings will hinder the exposure to the research facilities. According to scientists, the object may be inhabited.
A long time researchers have argued about the origin of the celestial phenomenon, now most of them are inclined to believe that this is due to a global catastrophe. In the future, the astronomers plan to further study the object.
