New Found Planet Going the Wrong Way?
A newly found “ultra-low density planet is in a probable retrograde orbit”. All known planets rotate in the same direction as the stars. All known planets except for one — WASP-17. The knewly found planet was discovered by a graduate student under the direction of Coel Hellier of Keele University.
“This planet is only as dense as expanded polystyrene, 70 times less dense than the planet we’re standing on,” said professor Hellier.
