Back in the days, I was taught there are 7 planets or there about. Now we have lost count cuz new planets are being discovered everyday.
ASTRONOMERS say they have found the first-ever ringed planet
beyond our solar system, a super-world with a girdle of halos 200 times bigger
than Saturn’s.The planet itself was probably about 10
to 40 times the mass of Jupiter
Called J1407b, the giant has a disk of 30-odd rings which is
so vast that, had it been around Saturn, it would have dominated our night sky,
the proud discoverers said.
“It’d be huge! You’d see the rings and the gaps in the rings
quite easily from Earth,” Matthew Kenworthy of the Leiden Observatory in The
Netherlands said on Wednesday.
“It’d be several times the size of the full Moon.”
