Astronomers have found a planet, called LHS 3154b, that seems to be far too big for the star that it’s going around. The planet in question is at least 13 times as massive as Earth but it orbits a star that weighs 9 times less than the Sun. The discovery seems to fly in the face of current theories of planet formation.
