"...we are now entering a new era in exoplanet research: the study of complex planetary systems and not just of individual planets."

That's just seriously awesome.

Yep. I wish I could believe it would inspire scientific intrest in children the way the moon landings did with me.

The five strongest wobble signals were caused by planets with masses similar to Neptune, between 13 and 25 times the mass of the Earth.

No gas giants seem to be present in the HD 10180 star system.

These planets have masses similar to Neptune yet are not gas giants?

Those are pretty large rocky planets.
