163 light-years away from the Earth. There is a K-type main-sequence Star. The star is named as WASP-69. Which is much younger than the Sun. And around that star system. Scientists have found a Jupiter-sized Planet. This Planet is named as WASP-69b.
According to the Astronomers. The planet's atmosphere is escaping into Space. That creates a massive comet-like tail. Which stretches at least 350,000 miles. It was entirely made up of hydrogen & helium. And losing 200,000 tons of mass every second. WASP-69b orbits very close to its host Star. And completes one orbit in 3.9 days. This discovery could help scientists better understand. How stars boot gas from the planet's Atmosphere.
