USRA Scientist Unlocks Crucial Data, Validating Rare Discovery of a Synchronized Six-Planet System
The planets in the HD 110067 system revolve around the star in a precise orbital pattern.
- The planets in the HD 110067 system revolve around the star in a precise orbital pattern.
- When the closest planet to the star makes 3 full revolutions, the second one makes exactly 2 during the same period.
- Among the over 5500 exoplanets discovered so far, it is not uncommon to discover several planets orbiting a star.
- Rapetti's code was the game changer in enabling the research team to complete this discovery, confirming a six-planet resonance chain.
