New evidence shows there's one more planet in the Universe
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Cambridge (Massachusetts) [US], September 15 (ANI): All astronomers concur that planets are created in protoplanetary discs, which are the bands of gas and dust that encircle newly formed, young stars. Even though the universe has hundreds of these discs, it has been challenging to observe g
