The gaseous exoplanet, dubbed PSO J318.5-22, is just 80 light years from Earth and has a mass only six times that of Jupiter. Having formed 12 million years ago, the planet is considered a newborn among its peers. The planet is extremely cold and faint, about 100 billion times fainter in optical light than the planet Venus.
