in space capable of sustaining life The journey in search of planets continues. Astronomers from the University of Chicago, NASA TESS And Cheops He studied the star HD110067 and the planets around it using satellites.

There was no possibility of life on the planets in question, but a theoretical system was actually observed for the first time. Scientists declared this system to be a “perfect solar system”.

What is the perfect solar system?

Solar systems form in two different ways. First of all, we are also inside solar system like it “fierce“systems formed. During the process of formation of these systems, planets collide with each other, some merge, some disappear. As a result, planets in systems similar to ours have different sizes.

This is not the case with perfect solar systems. The planets are arranged at a certain interval and all that about the same size is happening. These planets undergo little change, move in harmony and follow more circular orbits. HD110067‘s system is such a system. These systems also allow us to obtain more information about the formation processes of planets.

‘We see something no one has seen before’

From the University of Warwick, which issued a statement on the research Dr. Marina Lafarga-Magro, “This is really exciting, we’re seeing something that no one has ever seen before.” he said.

The system is so balanced that the planets are too a relationship between movements Yes, they do not act independently as in our system. Compared to the closest planet’s 3 orbits around its star, the second-ranked planet completes 2 rotations, and the third-ranked planet completes 1 rotation around its star. After the 4th planet there is a 4:3 ratio between the years of the planets. Scientists have even turned these movements into music by defining a tone for the planets.

So are the structures of the planets, each two or three times the size of Earth to Neptune It resembles. Although this planet type is the most common planet type in the Milky Way, their structure is still not fully known. It is not even known exactly whether the planets are rocky and made of gases or liquids. The fact that the star at the center of the new system is also bright is an important factor in this regard. new research can be done It paves the way.
