Newly discovered 'baby' planets could unlock mysteries of planetary evolutionNASA/JPL-CALTECH K2-33b, shown in this illustration, is one of the youngest exoplanets detected to date. The younger of the two planets orbits a star named V830 Tau, which sits some 430 light-years away. The scientists think it holds about 77 per cent of the mass of Jupiter. Scientists think that these planets must have formed farther out and then been somehow pulled in. But before they can start to draw broader conclusions, they'll have to find many more baby stars with their fledgling planets.
