This Exoplanet Discovery Defies What Astronomers Thought They Knew

It doesn’t make sense…

Apparently exoplanet  is BAFFLING astronomers for this reason.  This thing is as big as Neptune and it is made of pure rock.  Almost always when a planet reaches this size, or at least those observed by astronomers it involves some or all parts gas.  Here is a bit more about this find:

BD+20594b sits about 500 light-years away in the constellation Aries. The planet is about 16 times as massive as Earth but just a little over twice as wide, making its density about 8 grams per cubic centimeter, Néstor Espinoza, an astrophysicist at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Santiago, and colleagues report. Earth’s density, by comparison, is 5.5 grams per cubic centimeter.

The fact that it takes 42 days to orbit around its star may make a bit more sense here but it is still surprising to the team who spotted it.

Let’s check out a cool video on other mysterious exoplanets on page 2

    We don’t live in a universe. We live in a multi verse where every posible thing happens. Humans live on millions of planets. You live on millions and millions of planets. Or different versions of you do.

    Done a ton of research into the multiverse. If differing realities occupy the same space but at differing frequencies it would not be difficult to go from one t o the other. But in space stars are so far apart that going to them is impossible. The reason we see so many stars is they are all versions of this star. And galaxies? Same thing. You could have a hundred thousand earth’s in this galaxy alone. All equal more or less and all impossible to ever visit.

    The multiverse we live in is possibly a microverse that makes up another more advanced realm and beings universe. And this process is like an infinity mirror, that repeats itself to infinity. As with all humans are just sparks of memories of their future selves, which is why they phase out through natural causes after awhile- just to be replaced by others.

    The ETs that live throughout the universe aren’t coming to earth, they may be forbidden to contact us. The human race is a quarantine planet, humans are forbidden to contact other civilizations. The aliens are already here on earth, they’ve been here thousands of years.

    The universe is a room full of fun house mirrors all showing different versions of the same thing. Billions of versions of this very stellar system.

    Xevious Walker good to see someone post something of actual intellectual value! Your research is most correct, don’t worry about the rest not understanding, as you know yourself how long it takes to research the true working of our universes, and even longer to accept… Keep spreading the truth!

    We are self centered for sure, but because we can’t reach these exoplanets in our lifetime, doesn’t mean we can’t reach these planets. It’ll take generations.

    It’s all real. The day you stop believing what your eyes tell you, we’ll let you make stuff up in the corner of your padded room.

    Any interstellar journey would take multiple generations. There is no guarantee the people that arrive will have anything close to the same intentions as those who began the trip. Purposeful single lifetime journeys to the stars are for all intents impossible. The math won’t allow it. Distance is what separates us from other realities. This isn’t Sliders or Rick and Morty.

    Before we rush off and label this man as crazy.. How many if Us have done ANY Real researching into anything said ??? By him or this piece? So we r fast to say no no no yet I’m gonna go out on a limb and say a few have Gods they buy into….. Expand Ur mind. Stop limiting it.

    Don’t listen to those closed minded losers, your comment holds much meaning. I too believe this theory. Think about about, if in our universe, each atom has an exact copy elsewhere, why wouldn’t planets or the universe not be subjected to this same law? I believe in the multiverse and multiple dimensions

  11. Mark Shoemaker said:

    Trent Thompson The proof/fact you ask for, is unfortunately not just something you can google, and copy and paste in the comment section. The FACT is that you yourself have not researched this matter, even in the guise of debunking said theory or idea. Rather for you to cry about it being untrue, is your preferred method of sustaining self respect for your own intellect. As Xevious Walker stated above, these things are only possible through collection of lifetimes of beings, not just what you, or two generations of beings may be able to prove, in black and white. I encourage you to research this topic.

    If it were true, when we see other galaxies, they would all look identical. But since galaxies do not mirror each other, I would say that this theory just got debunked. The galaxies all look different and very in size. Therfore, they are not the same galaxy. Yes, it’s really that simple.

  13. Xevious Walker said:

    No our galaxy could have taken any form. You are seeing this galaxy if things were a tiny bit different. The difference you see can be accounted for.

    Your debunking has been debunked. Try again.

  14. Bobby Rebholz said:

    We only know a fraction of what’s actually out there yet we have the audacity to claim we can make “laws” of physics. We humans are about to be woken up within the next 50 years about our universe.

  15. Craig Bowers said:

    Just sitting here remembering how people laughed and laughed at me for daring to believe what the ancient people said about this years ago.

  16. Peter DeLury said:

    If something is theoretically conceivable, do not doubt the possibility that it might actually exist. Humanity is still in its infancy. We have much to learn.

  17. Tim Gathings said:

    I like what you’re saying and agree that our future race or “aliens” are here and visit constantly. I just want to point out you said they will not come here and are forbidden, then you said they are here. Don’t contradict yourself that’s what stops the non believers from listening.

  18. Lee Martin said:

    Well what I meant was this, other cultures throughout the universe won’t come here. I personally believe they are forbidden by God to come here, the entities many think are aliens aren’t actually aliens. Their demons in disguise, fallen angels and they got cast out of Heaven. Which God created hell for them and their leader, this is why they come from earth. As for humans- though man has back engineered technology from these demonic entities, and governments been working with them for generations. Man is forbidden to enter into the Heavens, this is why God destroyed the tower of babel. Because people were building it to enter into space and off the earth, so God destroyed it. Simply put aliens that so many are familiar with are from hell, not from outer space.

    I like how you were asked to provide evidence multiple times, and have only responded with condescension or more statements of what you believe. How about you respond with what people actually asked for?
