They Found A New “Planetary System” In Our Own Galaxy

Here is a bit more information on this completely unusual find:

A rocky planet orbiting a brown dwarf has never been observed before. This system is therefore thought to be either a scaled-up version of a moon going around a planet or a scaled-down version of a planet going around a star. The ratio between the mass of the host brown dwarf and that of the planet is the same as the ratio between the Sun and Uranus and between Jupiter and Callisto (its second largest moon). The astronomers argue that this suggests the same mechanisms formed Uranus, Callisto and the new planet.

What do you think?  Is this more common throughout the galaxy and universe or completely rare?  Feel free to comment and we’re looking forward to hearing more.

    Look up Cargeena 2 Astronomy on Facebook
    I take videos of some planets and the Moon all the time with my telescope and cameras.
    I process the videos into an image with frame stacking software.

    For those that don’t believe we get pics of planets:

    I’ll bet any amount of money my pics are the real thing, just like thousands of other astronomers and astrophotographers worldwide.

    Yep they can’t hide planet x any longer. And its not good for earthlings. Oh that’s right most of you have no clue. Smh

    Yup been looking around our own galaxy for 50 years but somehow we missed an entire planetary system in our own planetary system Lmao NASA needs to learn the definitions they wrote lol

    Sitchin legend?u mean sumerian.he is just interpreting….alot of what sitchin says makes sense.i just dont think he can b discounted.

    I mentioned that some have discredited Zacharia Sitchin and claimed he never made any transaction, they claim that becuase his background education had nothing to do with archeology.

    I disagree with them, I myself have done work and research outside of my chosen education path.

    Aren’t there 300-500 billion stars in our Galaxy? I’m willing to bet plenty of those stars have their own planetary systems lol. WOW BREAKING NEWS! Lmao

    David Little, you probably need to do a little/lot more research, earth’s geology is a good place to start, if you tie that in with effects outside our world, you would see that our solar system has been destabilized many times.

    I like to call our star system the only solar system since our star’s name is Sol. The other stars with planets are just star systems. But yes I think there are a lot of undiscovered star systems (stars with orbiting planets) in our galaxy and other galaxies.
