"NASA's Stunning Discovery: 7 Scorching Exoplanets Orbiting a Distant Star"

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has discovered a system of seven exoplanets, known as Kepler-385, that are being bombarded by radiation from their parent star. These blisteringly hot planets are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune and receive more radiation than any planet in our solar system. The discovery is part of a new catalog of exoplanet candidates and multi-planet systems created by the Kepler mission, providing astronomers with valuable information about the characteristics of exoplanets. The Kepler-385 system is located 4,672 light years away and contains one of the few known systems with more than six planets.

"NASA's Kepler Discovers Scorching Seven-Planet System in Old Data"

NASA's Kepler space telescope has revealed a scorching seven-planet system called Kepler-385, where each planet receives more radiant heat from its host star per area than any planet in our solar system. This system is one of the few known to contain more than six verified planets or planet candidates. The new Kepler catalog includes almost 4,400 planet candidates, providing accurate information about each system and enabling astronomers to learn more about their characteristics. The catalog uses improved measurements of stellar properties and reveals that stars hosting multiple transiting planets typically have more circular orbits.
