Combined, the two stars have a mass of 6-10 times that of our sun. B Centauri is a binary star system about 325 light years away. This newly discovered mega-planet, known as b Centauri b, orbits b Centauri, also known as HD 129116 - yes, the naming is confusing. Alpha Centauri (a and b) and Proxima Centauri are the closest stars to Earth, and they’re probably the ones you hear about most often, but there are more stars in the Centaurus constellation. The name of this star system is a bit confusing. This discovery could have astronomers rethinking what we thought we knew about planetary formation. Astronomers from Stockholm University have spotted an enormous exoplanet orbiting b Centauri, which is so large we didn’t think it would have any planets at all. One percent isnt enough to be a problem for habitability. At its closest, the other component would be more than 10 times farther away, so the planet would get about 1 as much light as it does from its primary.
A solar system known as b Centauri is anything but average. Lets say theres a planet in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri A or B, about 1 AU from its sun.
Set one-and-half years from the end of the Scramble For The Throne Arc, it spans Volume 61 - 71 The Omega Centauris Six Spears Arc is the second arc of the Kinnikuman (2011) series. The planet is visible as a bright dot in the lower right. Omega Centauris Six Spears Arc The second arc of the 2011 revival of Kinnikuman. The star pair is the bright object at top left. It’s big enough to warm the surface of the Earth but not so oversized that it burns through its nuclear fuel in a cosmological blink of an eye. This image shows double-star system b Centauri and its giant planet b Centauri b. It is the hottest and largest planet-hosting system known to date. Our sun is pretty unremarkable as far as stars go. The planet, named b Centauri b, was found orbiting b Centauri, a two-star system with a mass at least six times that of the Sun.
