Astronomers just made a mind-blowing discovery that defies our understanding of planetary orbits! For the first time ever, scientists have found a planet orbiting two brown dwarfs at a PERFECT 90-DEGREE ANGLE to their orbital plane.
This extraordinary "polar planet," named 2M1510 (AB) b, is the first confirmed case of a planet with a perpendicular orbit around a binary star system. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope when researchers noticed unusual wobbles in the stars' movements.
While scientists had theorized such orbital configurations might exist, finding actual proof caught them completely by surprise. This discovery expands our understanding of the incredible diversity of planetary systems in our universe!
