It is believed that it can provide important information about the evolution of the solar system, because it is located near a young star.

The Very Large Telescope, operated by the European Southern Observatory in Chile, took pictures of the lightest exoplanet. It is located near the star AF Leporis. Space.com reported it.

The space object is located 87.5 light years from Earth in the constellation of the southern hemisphere of the sky called Hare.

Astronomers say that this exoplanet is the lightest exoplanet in the universe.

“The star AF Leporis is almost as big and hot as the Sun. At the same time, the exoplanet is younger than the Sun. With an age of 24 million years, it is about 200 times younger than the Earth,” said the scientist. .
