Data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaiʻi has been used to identify the youngest planet yet discovered outside our solar system. The finding, reported by Maui Now, highlights the observatory's continuing role in major exoplanet research and offers scientists a rare chance to study planet formation at its earliest stages. Astronomers say such young worlds help refine models of how planets develop.
