"NASA Discovers Fiery 7-Planet System Orbiting a Sun-Like Star"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered seven planets orbiting a star in our Milky Way galaxy, all of which are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune. These planets, located closer to their star than Mercury is to the Sun, are being "fried" by intense radiant energy. The discovery was made using data from NASA's retired Kepler space telescope, which detected small dips in a star's brightness when a planet passed in front of it. This finding highlights the diversity of planetary systems and suggests that many may not resemble our own solar system. However, these planets are not considered promising candidates for hosting life.
