| | |  Astronomy Lesson of Records
Come in every one. This isn't exactly a lesson, but you can still score some major points!
This (kinda) lesson will be spent on records. The biggest, brightest, hottest... you name it. I will post a question, something to do with a record within the universe, and the first person to correctly guess it will earn 5 points. I have 25 questions to ask, so there is 125 house points up for grabs!
Just a few quick rules...
1. Only the first person to correctly guess will be awarded points.
2.There will be no disputing of answers as they come from a completely reliable source.
3. Have fun and earn some points for your house!
So get ready, the questioning is about to begin!! | |

*raise hand* I want to say, Mu Are d? But that's the record of the -least- massive extrasolar planet...
EDIT: Just noticed the 'not named' part.
New answer: HD 168443?

Serena raised her hand.
I found GI 876b (Gliese 876b) which is said to be 1.89 to 2.4 times the size of Jupiter. But more recently in 2004, 2M1207, called a brown dwarf, was shown to be about 5 times as massive as Jupiter.

"The largest extrasolar planet is one that revolves around the star Nadia mentioned, HD 168443. Its estimated mass is 17 times that of Jupiter and it lies an average of 430 million kilometers from the star HD 168443, 123 light-years from the Earth, completing one elliptical orbit around the Sun-like star every 4.85 years. Cannot find the planet´s number, though..." Drusilla says a little unsurely. She was sure she hadn´t looked thoroughly enough.

"Oops! You are right, I did forget to say the letter which refers to the planet and not the star alone. The letter is C.
The complete answer would then be HD 168443 c. Well, if that's correct^^"
