They the other way around find a tour planet that its star
They continue arriving surprising findings from the outside from the Solar System. If only days ago the Spitzer telescope found indications of a shock between two stars, in this occasion scientific British there are shortage a planet that orbit in opposite direction to which its star moves.
In each planetary system, the majority of the objects turns in the same direction in which orbit its central star. The scientists explain that this must to that these systems form from a same dust cloud and gas. Nevertheless, the astronomers are shortage that some objects, including comets and asteroids, move in so inclined orbits that they end up traveling in opposite direction of the one of his star. The experts indicate that the shock or the influence of other stars removes, them from their primary trajectories.
Already external planets to the Solar System were shortage three exoplanetas - that they orbited with a sharp inclination with respect to which it must have been his original trajectory. But the finding of this new outer planet that travels describing to a different curve 150º than would have, supposes a unique finding. Baptized like WASP-17b, it could be the major of exoplanetas known.
This discovery has been obtained by a partnership created by several British universities for the search in the space. In order to obtain it, they have used a selection of cameras of the Astronomical observatory of South Africa that monitor hundreds of thousands of stars.
In order to find this type of planets, the astronomers look for small black distant star spots. These small black points mean that a planet is happening ahead. The La Mancha radius allows to calculate the size of the planet. Later observations show the direction in which the star moves.
