British teenager discovers planet as large as Jupiter

------Toronto Star

An unbelievable discovery in 2013 was made by a 15-year-old teenager. He found a planet as big as Jupiter!

Tom Wagg launched his project, WASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) in 2006. In 2013, he located WASP 1000 light years from earth. Wagg noticed light patterns coming from a star. It was caused by this planet, temporarily named WASP-142b. This year, it was confirmed as planet. There will be a competition held for the new name of WASP-124b. Wagg was very proud and happy.

If I found a planet, I would have been very excited because I just contributed to the history of space.

Tom Wagg is lucky to find a planet. He has a lot of potential for being an astronomer!
