Synchronized Orbit: Rare Discovery of Six Planets in Mathematical Harmony

Astronomers have discovered six sub-Neptune planets in synchronized orbits around a star, offering insights into these mysterious planets that are absent from our solar system. The planets, ranging from 1.9 to 2.9 times Earth's diameter, have remained in orbital resonance since their formation about 4 billion years ago, indicating no chaotic events have perturbed their orbits. Scientists hope that studying these sub-Neptunes, which possess large atmospheres, will shed light on their composition and nature. The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to provide further insights into these planets and their potential habitability.
