TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have discovered a rare system of six planets orbiting the star HD110067, all in perfect balance and in what's known as an orbital resonance. The planets, with sub-Neptune masses, have large atmospheres similar to Uranus or Neptune, making them ideal for observation with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This unique system, just 100 lightyears away, provides a pristine configuration of a planetary system that has survived untouched, offering valuable insights into planetary formation and evolution.
