3 Planets That Shouldn't Exist

The video explores three mysterious exoplanets that challenge current astronomical theories. Kepler 78 B is a rocky planet with Earth-like density but orbits its star extremely closely, defying formation theories. Kepler 10C, dubbed a 'Mega Earth,' is unexpectedly dense and lacks a thick atmosphere. HD-106906 B is a massive gas giant orbiting far from its young star, raising questions about its formation. These planets highlight the gaps in our understanding of planetary formation and the universe's complexities.
