what is the name of biggest planet in the universe?

Question

what is the name of the biggest planet in the universe, who discovered by the scientist recently.

Answer 1

Through the study of other stars 'wobble' within our own galaxy, we have detected planets larger than Jupiter, we believe. Though, this is through a calculation with the doppler effect. So to play it safe, as far as we know now it is Jupiter. But to say that this will always be true would be bold and naive.

Answer 2

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest within the solar system. Jupiter has been known since ancient times and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. The Romans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter (also called Jove). The astronomical symbol for the planet is a stylized representation of the god's lightning bolt.

The Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese refer to the planet as the wood star, 木星,[4] based on the Chinese Five Elements (curiously enough, through a small telescope, it does somewhat resemble a circular slice of wood in appearance, with the Red Spot being a "knot"). In Vedic Astrology, Hindu astrologers refer to Jupiter as "Guru" which means the "Wise One".

In 1610, Galileo Galilei discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto (now known as the Galilean moons) using a telescope, the first observation of moons other than Earth's. This was also the first discovery of a celestial motion not apparently centered on the Earth. It was a major point in favor of Copernicus' heliocentric theory of the motions of the planets; Galileo's outspoken support of the Copernican theory got him in trouble with the Inquisition.

In 1892, E. E. Barnard observed a fifth satellite of Jupiter with the 36-inch refractor at Lick Observatory in California. The discovery, a testament to his extraordinary eyesight, made him quickly famous. The moon was later named Amalthea.

Answer 4

David Latham discovered a planet over 10 times the mass of Jupiter, but I am not sure what the planet is called.

"ORION NEBULA - Detection of an eighth planet was reported in April 1997, when a nine-member team led by Robert W. Noyes of Harvard University detected a planet orbiting the star Rho Coronae Borealis. A ninth large object, which orbits the star known by its catalogue number HD114762, has also been observed--an object first detected in 1989 by astronomer David W. Latham of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and his collaborators. But this bulky companion has a mass more than 10 times that of Jupiter--large, though not unlike another large object discovered around the star 70 Virginis, a similar object with a mass 6.8 times that of Jupiter. The objects orbiting both HD114762 and 70 Virginis are so large that most astronomers are not sure whether to consider them big planets or small brown dwarfs, entities whose masses lie between those of a planet and a star."

I will research further though, as I have a feeling that you are referring to something I have not yet read about.

Answer 5

The star G1229 appears to have a planet 20 times the size of Jupiter orbiting it. We haven't discovered the biggest planet in out universe yet because we are limited to only what we can see with present technology. We often cannot see these planets visually but they can be detected by the amount of "wobble" they cause in the star that they are orbiting (through gravitational attraction). I am sure that when technology improves that we will discover millions of planets orbiting millions of stars and that for a star to have planets orbiting them is very normal.

Answer 6

There are billions of stars in the entire universe. It is highly unlikely they have all been discovered or named. However, if you meant to ask the names of the planets in our solar system that is an entirely different question. If you have trouble remembering the names of these planets you could try to remember this acronym: My Very Endearing Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and what used to be our ninth planet Pluto. Hope this helps a little.

Answer 7

I assume that this is a serious question, but given that we have yet catalogued all planets in the universe, I can see how it is eliciting some comical responses. The answer so far is some extrasolar planet that's larger than Jupiter, but which one is hard to tell exactly which as precision of sizes isn't very well determined.

Hope that helps.

Answer 8

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system but It is almost certain that our solar system is not unique. The same system for detecting the presence of planets and also used to detect a possible tenth planet in our solar system has successfully detected planets in orbit around distant stars. So the probability of there being bigger planets than Jupiter is infinite.

Answer 9

Jupiter is the biggest so far, that we know of, although scientists are discovering, or think they are discovering, more planets, but we don't know if they are bigger than Jupiter or not. If they are not planets then they are meteors or asteroids.

Answer 10

According to our knowledge of the limited planets in the universe, being those in our own solar system would be Jupiter. Galileo discovered it!!!!
