Description
English: This artist’s view shows the planet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. This exoplanet is the first to have its rotation rate measured. Its eight-hour day corresponds to an equatorial rotation speed of 100 000 kilometres/hour — much faster than any planet in the Solar System.
Français : Cette vue d'artiste montre la planète en orbite autour de la jeune étoile Bêta Pictoris. Cette exoplanète est la première dont la vitesse de rotation est mesurée. Sa durée du jour n'excède pas les huit heures, ce qui correspond à une vitesse de rotation équatoriale de 100 000 km/h – nettement supérieure à celle des planètes de notre Système Solaire.
