Planet With A 350,000 Mile Tail Discovered | WION Podcast

Astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-sized exoplanet, WASP 69 b, located 160 light-years away, with a 350,000-mile-long comet-like tail. The planet's proximity to its host star causes extreme heat, boiling its atmosphere and shedding helium gas at a rate of 200,000 tonnes per second. This phenomenon helps explain the mysterious size gap in exoplanets and offers a rare opportunity to study atmospheric mass loss in real-time, shedding light on planet-star evolution. #planet #tails #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
