NASA has discovered a group of planets dancing in sync

An international team of researchers From the University of Chicago, directed by Rafael Luke Discover a unique collection to Planets Which Orbit simultaneously And to the rhythm of dancing a star shining.

The report, titled “A resonant sextet of sub-Neptunian planets crossing the bright star HD 110067” and published in the journal Nature, indicates the presence of a geometric pattern that mimics… Dance Synchronous communication of a planetary network.

Loki is a well-known scientist in the field of sustainable chemistry and biorefinery. He is a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Cordoba, Spain and a visiting scholar at several world-renowned academic institutions, including the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and the University of Delaware and Chicago in the United States.

What group of planets has NASA found that appear to be “dancing” with each other?

According to the official statement of the North American Agency, “six planets orbit their central star in a rhythmic rhythm, a rare case of a ‘synchronized’ gravitational step that could provide deep insight into the formation and evolution of planets.”

Specifically, cosmologists found “a star smaller and cooler than our sun” that contains a family of planets that have drawn attention for their uniqueness. These are six “sub-Neptunes” that move at a periodic, rhythmic pace.. While multi-planet systems are common in the galaxy, they explain, “those in a tight gravitational formation known as a ‘resonance’ are observed less frequently.”

Moreover, the special configuration of this system is the presence of several planets in widely spaced orbitsaroused great interest Among experts to understand its dynamics and Its ability to host life.

How planetary motion works determined by NASA

According to the panel of scholars, “The tropical waltz is so precisely repeated that it can easily be set to music.” The scientific team estimates that the discovery of this system is “a kind of detective story.” One of the heroes of the movie He was the main one in this process he-goathe Satellite NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Study Program, which looks for small eclipses caused by planets when they cross the faces of their stars.

Regarding the logic of this system’s operation, in this case, according to the published study, “The planet closest to the star HD110067 makes three orbits for every two orbits of the next planet.” In contrast, this pattern is repeated among the four closest planetsThis is known as 3/2 resonance. finally, The next most distant planetary spheres travel four orbits for every three of the following planetsIt is an event classified as “ringing 4/3”.

TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) was launched in April 2018 and has been instrumental in searching for exoplanets, especially those orbiting bright, nearby stars, facilitating further studies of their composition and atmosphere.
