Astronomers discover a 'forbidden' planet larger than Jupiter, the existence of which disproves all scientific theories

An international team of scientists using the James Webb telescope recently discovered six 'impossible' galaxies. They were mature a few hundred million years after the Big Bang and their total mass was greater than the mass of the Universe at the time. Now scientists have been given a headache by a 'forbidden' planet that violates all the theories.

Here's What We Know

Astronomers have discovered the gas exoplanet TOI-5205b. It's about the same size as Jupiter. But there's a nuance. The exoplanet revolves around a red dwarf with a mass and size almost half that of the Sun.

TOI-5205b orbits the star TOI-5205. This red dwarf is of spectral type M4. The star has a mass of 0.392 solar masses and a radius of 0.394 solar radius and 1.03 Jupiter radius. It takes 1.63 Earth days to complete one revolution around its luminary. How the Sun, exoplanet TOI-5205b and star TOI-5205 look like compared to each other has been tried by Shubham Kanodia.

According to current theories, the red dwarf TOI-5205 does not have enough mass to form a protoplanetary disk in which planets like TOI-5205b could be created. However, the exojupiter does exist. It was discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The space telescope is designed to do just that.

TOI-5205b is located 280 light years from Earth. Perhaps now the James Webb Space Telescope will study the "forbidden" exoplanet.
