| > TYC 8998-760-1 b is a gas giant exoplanet which has a mass 14
| times that of Jupiter, and a radius of 3 RJ. It orbits at a
| distance of 162 AU (2.42x1010 km; 1.51x1010 mi), or slightly
| more than 5 times the Neptune-Sun distance.[5][7] In July 2021,
| astronomers reported the detection, for the first time, of an
| isotope in the atmosphere of an exoplanet; more specifically,
| the isotope Carbon-13 (C13) was found in the atmosphere.[8][9]
