17 Year Timelapse Shows Mysterious Exoplanet’s Orbit
Northwestern University astrophysicist Jason Wang led a project to create the longest timelapse of an exoplanet ever assembled. The video compresses 17 years of real data of an exoplanet orbiting its star down to just 10 seconds — and that 17 years was only enough for the planet to travel about 75% of a single 23.6-year orbit.

β Pictoris b is the fastest spinning world we know of, rotating at ~100,000 km/h. By comparison, the rotation speed of Jupiter’s equatorial atmosphere is about 47,000 km/h, while the Earth’s travels at 1,674.4 km/h.
