Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star.
The host star, TOI-6894, is a red dwarf with only 20% the mass of the Sun, typical of the most common stars in our galaxy.
Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely ...
