The James Webb Space Telescope Just Gave Us an Up-Close View of an Alien World and It’s Absolutely Insane
- last year
There are a lot of wild planets out there, but recently discovered VHS 1256 b is one of the wildest. It’s relatively close to our own planet, but we won’t be going there probably ever, primarily due to the fact that it’s so big. The planet has the mass of around 20 Jupiters, meaning it’s around 6,360 times the mass of our own planet.
