In this episode, we explore the amazing discovery of a massive planet that is far too big for its sun, and how it challenges the current theories of how planets and stars form and evolve. We also learn about the instrument that detected this planet, the Habitable Zone Planet Finder or HPF, and how it works. And we explore some of the implications and questions that this discovery raises for the field of astronomy and astrobiology.
