We know planets revolve around their host star or stars. But is there any planet without its host star? Then we should name 2MASS J2126-8140 which situated in the Octans constellation. Well, this exoplanet is not exactly without a host star. It’s host star is a red dwarf star which is 600 billion miles (965 billion kilometers) away from the exoplanet. It has both the longest and the widest orbit for a planetary mass object known. “We were very surprised to find such a low-mass object so far from its parent star,” said Dr Simon Murphy from the Australian National University (ANU). “There is no way it formed in the same way as our solar system did, from a large disc of dust and gas.”
