Welcome to the new Planet!!

New Delhi, July 03: The European Southern Conservatoire has revealed that some Astronomers have taken the first photograph of the newborn planet in the universe. The photo was taken by Astronomers of the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy, located in Heidelberg.

The newly discovered planet may be young, but it's huge: many times the size of Jupiter, which could fit 1,300 planet Earths inside.

The images provide useful information about how planets, including those in our own solar system, form.

Captured by the Sphere instrument of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, the planet – a gas giant with a mass greater than Jupiter – is about as far from its star as Uranus is from our sun

The new planet is named the PDS 70. Astronomers are now working on collecting more information about the new planet. It is estimated that the planet is about 300 million kilometers away
