Astronomers have discovered an unlikely exoplanet with the strangest orbit they've ever witnessed more than 100 light-years away, according to a new study.
The exoplanet, known as HR 5183 b, orbits the star HR 5183 in the Virgo constellation, which is 102 light-years from Earth. The star has been of interest to astronomers since the 1990s, but they didn't find evidence of an exoplanet orbiting it until now. The planet, which is three times the mass of Jupiter, only completes one orbit around the star between every 45 to 100 years, the astronomers said. It was its strange, egg-like orbit that finally gave it away.
