Wednesday / 8 / Jumada Al-Awwal / 1445 AH – 22:25 – Wednesday, November 22, 2023 22:25 NASA scientists have discovered evidence of the reason for the contraction of a group of planets. According to a scientific journal, there are all kinds of worlds outside our solar system, and they might Distant alien planets, called exoplanets, are gas giants like Jupiter, rocky balls regarding the size of our planet, or even “super jets.” But there is a mysterious gap: there should be planets regarding 1.5 to 2 times as wide. View of Earth. “Exoplanet scientists now have enough data to say that this gap is not just a coincidence,” said Jessie Christiansen, a research scientist at the California Institute of Technology. “There is something going on that prevents planets from reaching or staying that size.” Scientists believe this is because some of the sub-Neptune planets are shrinking, losing their atmosphere and accelerating across the size gap until they become as small as giant Earths.
