Newly Discovered Alien Planetary System Has Left Scientists In Awe, With One Of Its Planets Being A Whopping 99 Times Wider Than Earth

The system, located 300 light-years from Earth, contains a gas giant planet that is similar in size to Jupiter, but with a much larger atmosphere.

According to a study published in the journal Nature, the planet, known as KELT-9b, is a "hot Jupiter" that orbits its star at incredible speeds, completing one rotation in just 1.3 days. Its size is truly massive, with a diameter of approximately 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers), compared to Earth's diameter of about 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers).

The discovery of KELT-9b was made using the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) in Arizona, which is designed to detect exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system.
