Quick Glance: Astronomers Uncover Rare Six-Planet Solar System
- Astronomers have discovered six exoplanets orbiting in harmonic rhythm around a nearby star, providing insights into planet formation and evolution.
- The six exoplanets orbit a bright star named HD110067, located in the Coma Berenices constellation in the northern sky.
- The planets are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, belonging to a little-understood class of sub-Neptunes commonly found orbiting sunlike stars in the Milky Way.
- What makes this planetary system an unusual find is that little has changed since its formation over 1 billion years ago, shedding light on the evolution of planets and the origin of prevalent sub-Neptunes in our home galaxy.
