HD 100546 B

== HD 100546 B's information ==
HD 100546 B is the largest real exoplanet in terms of radius that has been discovered to date. It orbits the star HD 100546 (also known as KR Muscae) 353 light-years away from Earth.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_100546 The planet is on the younger side of things with it being in the planet formation phase of the planetary life cycle. The gas giant was first thought to be around 6.9 Jupiter radii, but other, more recent estimates put it at 3.4 Jupiter radii, which still makes it the largest exoplanet known.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_100546#Planet_b The 6.9 Jupiter radii estimate is still used in SpaceEngine. There are no confirmed moons around this planet. It was discovered by an unnamed group of researchers in 2013, and was announced in 2014. Below is a comparison of this planet to others in our solar system, yes its a giant among dwarfs. The planet has some estimates about the mass of it, with NASA thinking its 752 Jupiter masses (which would make it a K-type star), and some other sources stating its something more realistic like 4 - 13 M♃. This is why there is no definitive mass of the planet.
