Cosmic Harmony: Unveiling the Perfectly Synchronized Six-Planet Solar System

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered six exoplanets in perfect resonance around the star HD 110067, indicating that their orbits have remained synchronized for billions of years. This phenomenon is typically observed during the early stages of star-and-planet system formation. The planets, known as "sub-Neptunes," are about 1 to 2 times the mass of Earth. The rarity of this resonance configuration suggests that only around 1% of multi-planet systems retain resonance. Studying this system may provide insights into the formation and preservation of resonant orbits, shedding light on the history of our own solar system.
