NASA Discovers Planet with a Year Lasting Just 21 Hours

NASA scientists have made a remarkable discovery of a planet where a year lasts only 21 hours. This Neptune-sized planet orbits its star at an incredibly close distance, making it one of the hottest planets of its kind.

Belonging to the rare category of “Hot Neptunes,” this planet is smaller in size and completes its orbit in a very short period. According to NASA, this is only the fourth discovery of its kind, shedding light on how such planets form and survive under extreme conditions.

The new discovery offers scientists a unique opportunity to understand the dynamics of planets in close proximity to their stars, further enriching our knowledge of the universe.
