In a remarkable astronomical discovery, the planet dubbed Cha 1107-7626 has been observed consuming gas and dust at an astonishing rate of six billion tons per second. This extraordinary growth rate, reported by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), marks the highest ever recorded for a planet.
Located approximately 620 light-years away in the constellation Chamaeleon, Cha 1107-7626 is classified as a rogue planet, meaning it does not orbit a star but instead drifts freely through space. Observations made using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile revealed that the planet has significantly increased its mass in just a few weeks, with its consumption of surrounding material now estimated to be double that of the Starnberger See.
The research team, led by astronomers from the Astronomical Observatory in Palermo, Italy, suggests that this phenomenon may provide insights into the early stages of star formation. Cha 1107-7626 is believed to possess five to ten times the mass of Jupiter and is still in the process of forming, sustained by a surrounding disk of gas and dust.
Notably, the planet's appetite has surged dramatically, with its rate of material consumption increasing eightfold compared to previous months. This significant uptick raises intriguing questions about the conditions and processes that govern planetary formation in the universe.
The findings have been detailed in a publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, contributing to our understanding of planetary development and the dynamics of celestial bodies in the cosmos.
