Astronomers have discovered the existence of a rare seven-planet system now known as Kepler-385 while looking at Kepler telescope data.

NASA's Kepler telescope data has unveiled a new system called Kepler-385 with seven hot, large planets that orbit a star slightly larger and hotter than our Sun. A system of seven sweltering planets has been revealed by continued study of data from NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope: Each one

NASA’s Kepler mission ended in 2018 after more than nine years of fruitful planet-hunting. The space telescope discovered thousands of planets, many of which bear its name. But it also generated an enormous amount of data that exoplanet scientists are still analyzing. Now, a team of researchers has shed new light on a seven-planet system in Kepler’s ocean of data. The star is called Kepler 385, and it’s about 4,670 light-years away. Some of its planets were confirmed back in 2014, while some

NASA described the planets as "scorching" and "bathed" in heat emitted by a distant host star.
