The largest planet in the universe can remain invisible to existing methods of observation
From well-known today about 2 thousand. Most exoplanets are large gas giants similar to our Jupiter and Saturn. But the greatest of these may be unavailable for normal observations.
The giant planets are easier to detect by their influence on the movement of the star or its luminosity in those moments when the planet passes between us and her. Only the great efforts, astronomers have learned to detect planets smaller, the size of which is comparable with the Earth. However, the largest of the planets whose mass is ten or more times the mass of Jupiter, may be hiding from our telescopes.
Working in the US astrophysicists Zhobin Dong (Ruobing Dong) and Chzhaohuan Zhu (Zhaohuan Zhu) came up with the hypothesis that giant planets can hold around him quite dense disk rotating matter - both young stars. However, unlike the stars, the planets do not emit a lot of energy, and if the gas-dust disk of stars are heated and become visible, then such planets, they remain cold and almost indistinguishable, hiding behind an entire large planet.
However, the simulation allowed Dong and Zhu predicted that gravity and the motion of particles in the gas and dust cloud that sooner or later, will give it a special helical structure. And if it will be "highlighted" nearby stars, some features of this structure, in principle, could be considered with the help of our instruments. Indeed, search for such structures in the existing observational data, scientists have found several examples that could be evidence of the existence of such enormous planets.
