Astronomers have found the strangest planet in the galaxy: it looks like a lemon.

According to ТСН: Astronomers have discovered the exoplanet PSR J2322-2650b, which has no analogs among known worlds.

The research shows that its origin does not correspond to any existing models of planet formation.

Unique characteristics of the exoplanet

The exoplanet PSR J2322-2650b can be considered one of the most interesting worlds in the Milky Way galaxy. It is a hot Jupiter orbiting a millisecond pulsar under the influence of the powerful gravity of the star.

Due to this gravity, the planet has a deformed shape, resembling a lemon. Its atmosphere contains carbon vapor, likely a helium base, and moves at an extraordinary speed opposite to the rotation of the planet itself.

Possible discoveries in the Solar System

Scientists from Princeton University believe that there could be another world on the outskirts of the Solar System —

“Planet Y”

The discovery of the exoplanet PSR J2322-2650b raises new questions about planet formation under extreme conditions. It may change our understanding of the evolution of planetary systems not only in the Milky Way but also in other galaxies. Researching possible objects in the vicinity of the Solar System, such as “Planet Y,” may also provide valuable data for future space missions.
