Here we have a new planet! Astronomers have recently discovered the youngest extra-solar planet which is six times the mass of Jupiter - 1.9x1027 kg. It is only 35 million years old and the planet orbits active central star at a very close distance which is closer than the distance at which Mercury orbits the Sun. Dr Maria Cruz Galvez-Ortiz and Dr John Barnes from University of Hertfordshire who led an international team of astronomers have made this discovery.

They also claimed that planet is situated almost 83 light years away from the green earth. This planet is about three times younger than a previously known young planet, which was aged 100 million years. Planet searches generally exclude Young stars produce a range of phenomenon including flares and spots. Using observations made at different telescopes, BD+20 1790b was discovered, telescopes included Observatorio de Calar Alto
(Almeria, Spain) and the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos over the period of last few 5 years in La Palma, Spain.

The journal Astronomy & Astrophysics has published the discovery and its various aspects. The planet was detected by searching for very small variations in the velocity of the host star, caused by the gravitational tug of the planet as it orbits -- the so-called 'Doppler wobble technique', as informed by Galvez-Ortiz while throwing more light on how the planet was discovered which was also supported by the use of large telescopes.
