Seven Planet System Discovered By NASA In Old Data

All seven Kepler planets within this system orbit their star at close proximity, basking in its intense heat. Although larger than Earth, these planets are smaller than Neptune. The two innermost planets are slightly larger than Earth, with thin atmospheres and likely composed of rocky materials. The remaining five planets have radii approximately twice that of Earth and boast thick atmospheres.

“Improvements to all planetary and stellar properties have allowed us to conduct in-depth studies of the fundamental properties of exoplanetary systems to better understand exoplanets and directly compare these distant worlds to our own Solar System and to focus on the details of individual systems such as Kepler-385,” Jason Rowe, a co-author and Canada Research Chair in Exoplanet Astrophysics, said.
