💨 Abstract

Astronomers have discovered a planet named 2M1510 (AB) b, orbiting at a 90-degree angle around a rare pair of young brown dwarfs. This is the first confirmed evidence of a 'polar planet' orbiting a stellar pair. The planet orbits an eclipsing binary, making it the first exoplanet found on a path at right angles to its host stars' orbit.
