Scientists find a planet outside the solar system larger than Jupiter 10 times

Astronomers have recently discovered a very large new planet outside our solar system, perhaps ten times more than the Jupiter. The researchers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory called it "rogue" because it seemed to travel through space without any sort of orbit around a specific star.
 Melody Kau of the Caltech Institute, who led the study, says the body offers some surprises that can help understand the magnetic processes of both stars and planets.

 He pointed out that some objects in the outer universe are too large to be considered planets, but they are not large enough to maintain the nuclear fusion of hydrogen within them, a process that activates the stars.
 "This body is exciting because studying its dynamic magnetic mechanisms can give us new insights into how the same kind of mechanism works in planets outside or outside the solar system," Kao said. "The research team used a radio astronomical observatory in the center of the state of new mexico called Fittingly to capture and study the body's magnetic activity.
