A group of astronomers may have discovered the newest and youngest planet in the galaxy. This group consists of astronomers from NASA and also ESA.
Through the published research paper, it is expected to be only around 1.5 million years old, and the planet is seen to be still covered by a certain amount of gas.
By comparison, the Earth is now estimated to be over 4 billion years old. This new planet has been studied since last year. This is the first time such a young planet has been discovered, and further studies are expected to offer perspectives from various points, including understanding how this world formed.
