The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an 11-Jupiter-mass exoplanet called HD106906 b that occupies an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away. This planet may be offering clues to something that might be much closer to home: a hypothesized distant member of our Solar System dubbed “Planet Nine.” This is the first time that astronomers have been able to measure the motion of a massive Jupiter-like planet that is orbiting very far away from its host stars and visible debris disc.
