Astronomers find system with six planets
... orbiting their host star. It also begged the question, if we could find one system like this, could we find anymore? Finding large multi-planet systems is rather difficult. It requires stable, high-precision Doppler (radial-velocity) monitoring and...

Exoplanets galore and possibly the next Trappist-1 system?
... and Neptune-mass exoplanets analysed data from 8 multi-planet systems to discover; one 4-planet system around HD 20781, two 3-planet systems around HD 31527 and HD 136352, and five 2-planet systems around HD 20003, HD 21693, HD 45184, HD 51608, and...

Five double star systems potentially suitable for life identified by researchers
...as multi-star systems, should no longer be discounted. "Our best candidate for hosting a world that is potentially habitable is the binary system Kepler-38, approximately 3970 light years from Earth, and known to contain a Neptune-sized planet," says...
