A bizarre system “singing planets” has been unearthed by astronomers. The stars system—known as TOI-178, and about 200 light-years from us—features six planets, five of which are locked in a highly ...

Astronomers have discovered a nearby system of exoplanets with unusually orderly orbits but disordered densities. Five of the six planets circle the star in a rare rhythmic dance called a resonance ...

A team of astronomers stumbled upon this rare instance of order — a group of at least six exoplanets (in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regimes) following a rhythmic, cosmic dance around a host star.

A unique planetary system located 200 light-years from Earth hosts five exoplanets with orbits locked together in a repeating pattern, despite their very different sizes and densities. The discovery ...

A puzzling line up of six-Exoplanets moving in a rhythmic dance as they orbit their star have been discovered in a system 200 light years from Earth. Researchers used the European Space Agency CHEOPS ...

In a planetary system 200 light-years away, five planets are moving in a special harmony Only one known planet in the system is not in resonance with the others But their densities are "disorderly," ...

Astronomers have discovered a planetary system that has only gotten stranger the more they have looked at it. In the southern constellation of Sculptor, a nondescript orange star was flagged by NASA's ...

Closely clustered around star TOI-178, this unique six-planet system lies approximately 200 light years away from us. When was first observed, scientists, suspected this star only boasted a pair of ...

Nature is fond of patterns, on both the small scale and the large. Take the Fibonacci sequence, for instance — the repeating pattern of numbers in which each subsequent number totals the sum of the ...

Two tightly packed families of exoplanets are pushing the boundaries of what a planetary system can look like. New studies of the makeup of worlds orbiting two different stars show a wide range of ...
