WASP 17 New Planet Discovered
Scientists have discovered a new planet and they have called it WASP-17! Don’t worry it has nothing to do with wasps from outer space, its name comes from the initials of the Wide Area Search for Planets, a consortium of British universities.
WASP-17 is located 1000 light years from Earth, and according to initial calculations, his size would be twice the size of Jupiter!
“A near collision during the early, violent stage of this planetary system could well have caused a gravitational slingshot, flinging WASP-17 into its backwards orbit.”
For the discovery, WASP scientists used a group of cameras to monitor stars, and change of light that would be a sign of a presence of a planet.
