Solar System Found

Astronomers discovered a New Solar system,orbiting like sun stat which they claim to have nine planets.

The solar system is 127 light years from the earth orbiting like sun.

A team used observations from the European Southern Observatory (Eso) in Chile concluded the presence of five planets and evindence say that are still two yet to be identified in planetory system.

The five gas giants are between 13 and 25 times as massive as the Earth and take between six and 600 days to orbit the star, writes Lovis in a paper published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

And one the other two uncofirmed was similar to Saturn and other planet would be the least massive exoplanet ever discovered, say astronomers, with a mass around 1.4 times that of the Earth.


The star is now named as "HD 10180"127 light years far,in the constellation Hydrus with HARPS (High Accuracy Radio velocity planet Searcher)spectrogrh.


It took six years for the team to do this .It was the largest solar system which was found till now beyond "Milky way".
