Astronomers have recently discovered a giant planet, LHS 3154b, that is more than 13 times more massive than Earth, leaving scientists baffled. The planet orbits a small, dim red star that shouldn’t have enough material to form such a massive planet. Normally, such stars form much smaller planets. The discovery of LHS 3154b challenges current theories about how planets form, because it requires a much larger planet-forming disk than previously thought. This discovery is significant because it could change what we know about how planets form, especially around such common stars.
