Why Kepler-10c Shouldn T Exist

The planet that shouldn’t exist, also known as Kepler-10c. Kepler-10c is 560 light years away from earth. Kepler-10b shares the same star system as Kepler-10c. Which if you were wondering Kepler-10b is a “Lava world” that has a year of 20 hours long. Kepler-10c was discovered by the Kepler space probe. This “planet that shouldn’t exist” has a structure similar to the gas giants of the solar system. According to (Place Citation here) “Scientist looked at Kepler-10c with the HARPS-North Instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands.” (Place Citation Here) also says “astronomers believe that Kepler-10c is 17 times heavier than Earth.” Gas giants are not very dense due to their vast atmospheres of hydrogen and helium. Kepler-10c is solid, which is unheard of for a planet that size.
The CfA team said that any planet that size would have enough gravity to collect a massive atmosphere around it. Which would have formed it into a gas giant similar to Jupiter or bigger. Kepler-10c appears to be a giant rock, it raises the question how do planets form. Further research resulted in the knowing of how old Kepler-10 star system really is. Kepler-10’s star system is 11 billion years old, this means it formed only 3 years after the big bang materialized. The rocky structure that Kepler-10 holds indicates that the heavy elements obligated to create this planet were accessible earlier than thought. The CfA team applies that there may be other habitable planets that may be very ancient. Which also increase the chances of other life forms being found further in the
