"Rare Discovery: 6 Planets in Perfect Synchronization Unveiled in Milky Way"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered a rare solar system 100 light-years away with six planets moving in perfect sync, providing insights into the origins of our own solar system. The planets are similar in size to Neptune and have orbits closer to their star than Mercury in our solar system. The discovery was made using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the European satellite CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite. Further study with the James Webb Space Telescope will help characterize the atmosphere of these synchronized planets.
