The Fastest Exoplanet System Yet Discovered - Astrobiology

Astronomers may have discovered a scrawny star bolting through the middle of our galaxy with a planet in tow. If confirmed, the pair sets a new record for the fastest-moving exoplanet system, nearly double our solar system’s speed through the Milky Way. The planetary system is thought to move at least 1.2 million miles per […] The post The Fastest Exoplanet System Yet Discovered appeared first on Astrobiology.

NASA Discovers a Lightning-Speed Exoplanet System That Could Shatter Galactic Records

NASA scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that could change how we understand the dynamics of exoplanetary systems. The system, consisting of a faint star and a planet, is believed to be moving at an astounding speed of 1.2 million miles per hour (540 kilometers per second)—nearly double the speed of our solar system as it orbits the Milky Way. If this speed is confirmed, it would make this system the fastest exoplanet system ever dis…

Scientists spot candidate for speediest exoplanet system - Tech and Science Post

Astronomers may have discovered a scrawny star bolting through the middle of our galaxy with a planet in tow. If confirmed, the pair sets a new record for the fastest-moving exoplanet system, nearly double our solar system’s speed through the Milky Way. The planetary system is thought to move at least 1.2 million miles per hour, or 540 kilometers per second. “We think this is a so-called super-Neptune world orbiting a low-mass star at a distance…
