Cosmic Harmony: A Perfectly Resonant Six-Planet System Unveiled

Scientists have discovered a unique star system, HD110067, where six planets orbit in a rhythmic gravitational lockstep, a rare phenomenon that could reveal new insights into planet formation and evolution. The system, located around 100 light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices, features planets that move in a precise orbital waltz, with some planets in a 3/2 resonance and others in a 4/3 resonance. This discovery provides an opportunity to study the formation and evolution of sub-Neptune planets, which are the most common type of planets outside our solar system.
