‘Super-Jupiter’ exoplanet is not so Jupiter-like, UCSC study finds

SANTA CRUZ — Xi Zhang, a professor of Earth and planetary science at UC Santa Cruz, has discovered that an exoplanet classed as a “super-Jupiter” has substantial differences from our solar system’s largest planet — and in fact, has much in common with Mars. Exoplanet VHS 1256b, located 40 light years away from Earth, was identified in 2015. The planet has a similar volume as Jupiter but is 10 to 20 times its mass, earning it the super-Jupiter or brown dwarf title — smaller than a star, and similar to gas giant planets. This particular exoplanet quickly captured astronomers’ attention with its extreme variations in brightness. Most objects in space appear to blink, due either to physical...
