Scientists find youngest exoplanet on record
CATCH ME UP
Researchers found a Jupiter-mass world named Elias 2-24 b.
The planet is located four hundred fifty light-years from Earth.
Scientists identified it by analyzing archival data from the W.M. Keck Observatory.
The finding confirmed earlier suspicions about a gap in the debris disk around the star Elias 2-24.
Why it mattersThe discovery sets a new age record for a planet and could sharpen how scientists understand how planetary systems form.
More context
Study co-author Lucas Cieza said the result suggests planet-formation models are missing important processes.
The planet is estimated to be less than one million years old.

A quick read on shared facts, changing details, and different emphasis.
What is changing or disputed
The main details could still shift if future analysis changes the age estimate or refines what the debris-disk gap means for planet formation.

Scientists find youngest exoplanet on record — a 'newborn' named Elias
Quick source take
Astronomers have discovered the youngest exoplanet on record, a Jupiter-mass world named Elias 2-24 b located four hundred fifty light-years from Earth. Researchers found the newborn planet by analyzing archival data from the W.M. Keck Observatory, confirming earlier suspicions regarding a gap in the debris disk surrounding the star Elias 2-24. According to study co-author Lucas Cieza, the discovery indicates that current planet-formation models are missing important processes because the planet is estimated to be less than one million years old.
