“and reveal a rare family of six planets located...”
How do they know they are rare? We have barely even begun to detect such things.
Astronomers discover nearby six-planet solar system with 'pristine configuration'Let's go crap it up!
Dibs on g. I like a longer planetary year. :)
They ought to call this the ‘Brady Bunch’ solar system................
How the hell is 100 light years ‘nearby’?
That is truly amazingly cool, if I am understanding this
Closest planet orbits sun 2 times for ever 1 time the 2nd planet does... 3 times for ever time the 3rd planet does. 4 times for ever time the 5th planet does and 6 times for every time the 6th planet does.
That’s just amazing... Definitely triggering my inner geek hard on this one.
The earth, Venus and the sun are in the same relative position to each other once every 584 days. Five times 584 is 2,920. The earth orbits the sun once every 365 days. Eight times 365 is 2,920. So there is a 5-8 relationship. The earth influences Venus by its gravitational pull and vice versa.
The light from this planetary system has been on its way here since about the time Henry Kissinger was born.
What is the evidence?
I could swear that I can see some plastic bottles and condoms laying around on planet "c"...
Orbiting in a circle while the planets in our solar sytem orbit in an elipse.
