"Astronomers Uncover Rarely Seen Perfectly Aligned Solar System in Milky Way"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered a rare solar system in the Milky Way, 100 light-years away, where all six planets are perfectly synchronized in their orbits, resembling a grand cosmic orchestra. This finding provides insights into the formation of solar systems and may help researchers understand how our own solar system evolved. The planets in this system are not within the habitable zone, making the likelihood of life as we know it unlikely. The synchronized motion of the planets is known as resonance and is a rare phenomenon, with only about 1 in 100 solar systems retaining this synchrony.
