A Unique Planet

A unique planet named PH-1 has been discovered by a team of scientist this planet is 5000 light years from the Earth.It is likely to know that the known planet is orbiting 2 suns.PH1 is a gas giant with a radius about 6.2 times that of Earth. It orbits a pair of eclipsing stars that are 1.5 and 0.41 times the mass of the sun roughly every 138 days. The two other stars are orbiting the planetary system at a distance that is roughly 1000 times the distance between Earth and the sun.Last week scientists reported the discovery of a "diamond planet" twice the size of Earth and orbiting a sun-like star. Up to one-third of the planet's mass and much of its surface is believed to consist of diamonds, implying that distant rocky planets can no longer be assumed to have the same features as Earth.
