| Not sure if its the right place to post this kind of threads , but whatever.. so anyway , have anyone heard about the K2-39b ? 'An international team of astronomers has reported the discovery of a new giant extrasolar planet orbiting a subgiant star so closely that it should be destroyed due to tidal interactions. However, against all odds, the planet has survived and is the shortest-period alien world orbiting a subgiant star known to date.' there are actually a lot of people saying that its an artificial planet ( RIP humanity if its real.) so i wanted to know your thoughts about this planet |

| There's a lot we don't know about the universe, and we can only speculate about how things work based on the knowledge we have of our own tiny section of it. So there's no reason this planet couldn't exist that close to a star due to some unique characteristic or makeup of it that we simply have no knowledge of yet. It would probably be impossible to ever explore due to the heat and speed of it with its proximity to the star, but it can still exist. Of course, it also could be that we're only seeing it now before it gets inevitably destroyed. Maybe in a few months they'll see it torn apart and the remaining debris either flung away or absorbed into the star. |
