Kepler Telescope Uncovers 7 Superhot Exoplanets Orbiting a Single Star

Researchers have analyzed old data from NASA's Kepler mission and discovered new details about a seven-planet system called Kepler 385. The updated catalogue provides accurate information on Kepler planet candidates and their properties, allowing astronomers to learn more about exoplanets. The system consists of seven planets, all larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and they orbit very close to their star. The new analysis also reveals that systems with more transiting planets tend to have more circular orbits. While the Kepler 385 system is not habitable, the research highlights the importance of the Kepler catalogue in understanding exoplanetary systems.
