This blog is intended to inform, to inspire, to seek out new ideas and provoke conversation so we can better understand what is happening on this planet, in this universe . . .
"We recently posted news of a Planet Hunters planet discovered as part of a seven-planet system. Dubbed KOI-351 this system is a peculiar microcosm of our own Solar System, with small (probably rocky) worlds in the middle, and larger (probably gaseous) worlds on the outside. The major different being that the outermost planet in this system is as far from the star as Earth is from the Sun. The other six planets in this system were already known about, but thanks to volunteers on Planet Hunters (http://planethunters.org) we now think that there are seven worlds circling this stars, which is just a little brighter than our Sun."
