CNN – Space’s Next Chapter
A Jupiter-like planet located 520 light-years from Earth may be an unlikely survivor after its host star had a temper tantrum.
The gas planet is known as 8 UMi b and was named Halla after its initial discovery by Korean astronomers in 2015. Halla, regarded as a sacred place, is the highest mountain in South Korea.
The exoplanet orbits a giant star larger than our sun named Baekdu, located in the Ursa Minor, or “Little Bear,” constellation.
