Astronomers Spot an Exoplanet Discovery is Spinning in an Unusual Way

what is taking place out there?

One after another they keep spotting BIZARRE behavior with these exoplanets. Form kepler-452-b to others that have binary star systems, there is a whole treasure trove of fascinating planets to explore. We have only seen exoplanets in the last decade or so and is very early on in our studying of them. And they just spotted something unusual:

A faraway planet locked in a close dance with its star is making its partner spin faster. The orbital waltz, which mirrors that of Earth and its moon, could be the best laboratory yet for studying how planets affect their stars and vice versa.

Astronomers …spotted the big, gassy world around a star dubbed HATS-18, which is almost identical in size and temperature to our sun. It’s so close to the star that it whizzes round its orbit in less than a day.

A lot of people are saying studying exoplanets may be the best way to search for alien life.
