Massive exoplanet, 'king' of its solar system discovered by astronomers

[FfFfFfFF 58,128]

Astronomers have detected a third exoplanet in the Kepler-88 system more than 1,200 light-years away from us, and this one dwarfs anything in our solar system.

This exoplanet -- a planet found outside of our solar system -- orbits the star Kepler-88 and is known as Kepler-88 d.

The detection of Kepler-88 d provides a new dynamic to the system, since it's such a large planet and dominates the other two.

"At three times the mass of Jupiter, Kepler-88 d has likely been even more influential in the history of the Kepler-88 system than the so-called King, Kepler-88 c, which is only one Jupiter mass," said Lauren Weiss, lead study author and Beatrice Watson Parrent Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Hawaii Institute of Astronomy, in a statement.

We have no choice but to stan Kepler-88 d

Hmmm.. 1200 lite years... 

A bit of a jaunt I'd say.
