Astronomers Found a Planet Orbiting Backwards Around a Red Dwarf and the Usual Culprit Is Missing
Astronomers have discovered a planet with a mass five times that of Earth orbiting a red dwarf star in an unusual way. The discovery is notable because it bucks the typical pattern where nearby planets are usually found to be responsible for disturbing other orbits. This particular case does not follow this expected trend.
