THE WASHINGTON POST – Astronomers have discovered a six-pack of planets, formed at least four billion years ago and remarkably unchanged since, orbiting a nearby sun-like star. The new planets, described in a paper published in the journal Nature, could provide a breakthrough in the understanding of how planets form and why there are so […]

Astronomers have discovered a star system in which six planets orbit one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance.

They are the most common type of planet observed in our Milky Way galaxy \u2014 two to three times the diameter of Earth but smaller than Neptune, and orbiting closer to their stars than our solar systems innermost planet Mercury does to the sun.

Researchers using TESS and Cheops found a planetary system with 6 sub-Neptune planets, all orbiting in direct resonance with each other.

Astronomers have discovered a special star system where six sub-Neptune planets orbit their host star in perfect synchrony.
