Discovery May Be Youngest Planet Ever Observed by Astronomer

Post by ccb056 »

The newest U.S. space telescope has found what could be the youngest planet ever observed, less than one million years old. Astronomers are amazed at the apparent speed with which it formed, suggesting that solar systems like ours could come together quickly, and be more common than thought. The telescope has even detected life-creating compounds in the same region.

Interesting, they consider one million years young. I wonder what they mean by soon when they talk about a solar system forming.

hmm 15 billion years is like 15 million million years, 1 million years is pretty young to that
