Rare Exoplanet’s Extremely Strange Orbit Stuns Astronomers

Astronomers have discovered TIC 241249530 b, a Jupiter-like exoplanet on its way to becoming a hot Jupiter, which is a large planet orbiting very close to its star.

Using the WIYN 3.5-meter telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the team observed that TIC 241249530 b has an extremely elliptical orbit that moves in the opposite direction to its star’s rotation.

This unique orbit provides clues about the planet’s formation and future, indicating that it will eventually migrate inward to a tighter, more circular orbit, Sci-Tech Daily has reported.
