ROXs 42Bb is a massive exoplanet, sometimes referred to as a "super-Jupiter," located about 440 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It orbits a young, low-mass star known as ROXs 42B. This planet is notable for its large mass, estimated to be around 9 times that of Jupiter, and its distant orbit, which is approximately 150 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. ROXs 42Bb is part of a small but intriguing group of exoplanets that challenge traditional planet formation theories, particularly due to its wide separation from its parent star.
