TL;DR Summary

Researchers have released an updated catalogue of Kepler planet candidates, shedding new light on a seven-planet system called Kepler 385. The system, located 4,670 light-years away, consists of seven planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune. The catalogue provides improved measurements of stars hosting these planets and allows for an in-depth study of exoplanetary systems. The researchers also found that systems with more transiting planets tend to have more circular orbits. While the Kepler 385 system is not habitable, the new catalogue provides valuable insights into exoplanets and their characteristics.
