Astronomers spotted an object that looks like a planet, weighs about as much as Jupiter, and yet behaves like nothing anyone has seen before. This strange world sits dangerously close to a dead star.

Fortunately for the astronomers studying this strange Jupiter-mass planet, its cosmic environment provides optimal conditions for observation, as its host object is a rapidly rotating pulsar. Such ...

This artist’s concept shows what the exoplanet called PSR J2322-2650b (left) may look like as it orbits a rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar (right). Gravitational forces from the much ...
