A new research suggests that the thousands of planets could be orbiting around the supermassive black holes just like planets in our solar system orbit around the sun. The study reveals that these planets are formed around a black hole. This contradicts the earlier research that said planets were created from pieces of fuzzy dust that settle in a disc around a young star. However, researchers suggest that the formation of a planet could happen in extreme environments like a black hole. Researchers reveal that discs around a black hole can have 100,000 times the mass of the sun in the form of dust, which could lead to the formation of planets.
