Oldest Planet Is Revealed, Challenging Old Theories
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD

The discovery, based on measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope, challenged scientists to rethink theories of how, when and where planets form. It is tantalizing evidence, astronomers said, that planets began appearing billions of years earlier than previously thought and so may be more abundant.
