‘Clockwork’ planet reveals a uniquely mathematical orbit – Inverse
Astronomers discovered an Earth-sized planet that orbits its low-mass star in 3.14 days, the same number as the mathematical constant Pi.
Space telescopes scour the cosmos for exoplanets, finding thousands of strange and exotic worlds.
Every now and then, one of those planets surprises us with their unique features.
In yet another cosmic twist, a team of astronomers discovered a planet roughly the same size as Earth that speeds its way around its host star in a period of just 3.14 days the same number as the mathematical constant Pi.
The discovery is detailed in a study published Monday in The Astronomical Journal.
