Strange Planet Confirmed in Binary Star System Nu Octantis
- Wednesday May 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a massive planet in the Nu Octantis binary star system, first suspected in 2004. Using advanced tools like the HARPS spectrograph, researchers found that the planet orbits in the opposite direction of one of the stars—a retrograde motion that keeps the system stable. The discovery of a white dwarf in th...
