VB 10: A Large Planet Orbiting a Small Star
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Can a planet be as large as the star it orbits? Recent observations suggest that Van Biesbroeck's star, a small red dwarf about 20 light-years away, might have just such a planet. This dim star is known for its rapid movement across the sky. Astronomers detected a wobble in its motion, indicating a large orbiting companion.
