The giant exoplanet LS 3154b has scientists scratching their heads, because it seems far too large for its tiny star. 

This planet is too large compared to its sun.

“This planet, which is about 13 times more massive than Earth but orbits a star nine times less massive than the sun, doesn't seem like it could exist, researchers said upon its discovery in 2023. Future studies of this "impossible" world could upend the known rules of planet formation.” which is by evolutionary design.
