Planet Hunters discover new planet that has a punctuality problem

Some people are never on time, and it seems some planets have the same problem. Yale astronomers, along with Planet Hunters, a team of citizen scientists, recently discovered a new planet that has issues with punctuality.

This new planet called PH3c, which has a low density and low mass, is 2,300 light years from Earth. The atmosphere of the planet is mostly hydrogen and helium.

Because of PH3c's odd schedule, astronomers initially missed it. However, Planet Hunters discovered its existence after poring over data from NASA's Kepler mission.
