[00:00:00]Astronomers just discovered a planet that shouldn't exist. Meet TOI-6894b.

[00:00:06][music] It's a giant gas planet almost the size of Saturn.

[00:00:12]>> [music] >> But here's the problem. It's orbiting an incredibly tiny red dwarf star.

[00:00:17]>> [music] >> According to current theories, a star this small shouldn't have enough material to form a giant planet [music] like this.

[00:00:24]Yet somehow TOI-6894b [music] is there.

[00:00:29]Scientists expected small rocky planets.

[00:00:32]Instead, they found this, a giant gas [music] world.

[00:00:36]This discovery is challenging what we thought we knew about planet formation.

[00:00:41]Sometimes, the universe [music] doesn't follow the rules.

[00:00:45]And TOI-6894b may be proof of that.
