In fact, being 7,000 astronomical units (AU) in width would make it surpass the likes of Neptune that is a “mere” 30 AU from the Sun, and Pluto (which is no longer considered to be a planet) that would be 40 AU. University of Hertfordshire’s Niall Deacon shared, “This is the widest planet system found so far and both the members of it have been known for eight years. But nobody had made the link between the objects before. The planet is not quite as lonely as we first thought, but it’s certainly in a very long distance relationship.”
The planet has been named 2MASS J2126, where it was first identified in 2008 by American-based researchers, and then figured out that it could jolly well be a possible member of a 45 million year old group of stars and brown dwarfs that have been dubbed the Tucana Horologium Association.
