This image provided by Guillem Anglada-Escude shows a comparison of orbits of the red dwarf star GJ 3512 and its newly identified gas giant planet GJ 5312b, center, to the Earth's solar system and other nearby red-dwarf planetary systems. On Thursday, Sept. 26, 2019, astronomers reported they’ve found the Jupiter-like planet orbiting a star that’s a mere 12% the mass of our sun. There may even be another big gas planet lurking in the GJ 3512 system 31 light-years away.  (Guillem Anglada-Escude/IEEC, SpaceEngine.org via AP)
