Breaking News: New Cluster of 'Super Earths' Discovered Orbiting Nearby Star Could in Theory Support Life
Published June 25, 2013FoxNews.com Astronomers discovered a solar system packed of planets, three of which are habitable, using new observations and existing data of the Gliese 667C star. The star is orbited between five and seven planets and is part of a triple star system known as Gliese 667. "We identified three strong signals in the star before, but it was possible that smaller planets were hidden in the data" said Guillem Anglada-Escudé of the University of Göttingen who led the study.
