An international team of scientists has discovered an unusual new exoplanet that could shed light on planet formation.<\/h2>\n
The scientists found the unusual new exoplanet orbiting a low-mass star called TOI-4860, in the Corvus constellation.<\/p>\n
The Jupiter-sized planet, named TOI-4860 b is unusual for two reasons. First, stars of such low mass are not expected to host planets like Jupiter, and second, the planet appears to be particularly enriched by heavy elements.<\/p>\n
