Artist’s concept depicting Elias 2-24 b, the youngest exoplanet detected to date, still growing within the disk of gas and dust surrounding its young host star. Material from the disk is actively accreting onto the Jupiter-mass planet, which sits within a prominent gap in the disk, supporting the leading theory of giant planet formation.

Scientists have discovered a planet estimated to be less than 1 million years old, making it the youngest planet ever found, according to a recent NASA announcement.
