This widdle biddy baby world is breaking planet formation theories

Astronomers confirmed the discovery of Jupiter-sized planet Elias 2-24 b 450 light-years from Earth; it is less than 1 million years old, five times younger than previous record holders. The finding came from reanalysis of 2018 and 2020 Keck Observatory archives and challenges planet formation theories.

• Planet 450 light-years from Earth is younger than 1 million years
• Previous record was 5 million years, a fivefold difference
• Orbit 10 times farther from its star than Jupiter from the Sun
• Results published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters
