Astronomers discover potato-shaped planet, say 'not all planets are spheres'

Astronomers working with European Space Agency have discovered a potato-shaped planet called 'WASP-103b' that is located in the constellation 'Hercules' about 1,800 light-years away from the solar system. "Not all planets are spheres...The deformation, caused by strong tidal forces between the planet and its host star, was spotted by Cheops (European space telescope)," ESA said.
