Beta Pictoris b is an exoplanet located about 63 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Pictor. It orbits the star Beta Pictoris, which is a young, bright star surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. Discovered in 2009, this gas giant is approximately 12 times the mass of Jupiter and has a temperature of around 1,400 degrees Celsius. The planet has a highly eccentric orbit, taking about 18 years to complete one revolution around its star. Beta Pictoris b is notable for being one of the first directly imaged exoplanets, providing valuable insights into planetary formation and the characteristics of young planetary systems.
