Cosmic Harmony: Scientists Uncover Perfectly Synchronized Star System
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Futurism
Astronomers have discovered a star system, HD 110067, with six exoplanets that orbit their star in a rare and mathematically harmonious resonance. The system, located 100 light years away, showcases a pristine configuration that has survived untouched, providing insights into the formation of such extraordinary systems. The exoplanets, classified as "sub-Neptunes," revolve in precise ratios relative to each other, with the first four planets exhibiting a 3:2 resonance and the outermost two in a 4:3 resonance. The system's stability over billions of years raises questions about the chaotic nature of planetary formation. Further observations will shed light on the system's longevity and formation process.
