Revisiting HD 28185: The Surprising Discovery of an Outer Planet in a Saturn-like Orbit

Astronomers recently revisited the exoplanet system around the star HD 28185, leading to a surprising discovery. While it was already known to host a giant planet with an Earth-like orbit, new research by Alexander Venner and his team revealed a second planet, HD 28185 c, previously thought to be a brown dwarf. This outer planet, about six times the mass of Jupiter, follows a Saturn-like orbit, making it one of the most distant exoplanets detected through radial velocity and astrometry methods. The findings offer exciting insights into how distant giant planets may be more common than previously thought.
