Weird Exoplanetary System Dances To the Beat
If there’s one thing to be said for the Kepler mission, it’s certainly turning up some very strange new worlds.
Recently, the mission has spotted a Tatooine-like exoplanet; it’s found evidence for a “phantom” world; spied a tightly-packed six-pack and even found an exoplanet darker than coal.
Now, a sun-like star — called Kepler-18 — has been spotted with a super-Earth and two Neptune-like worlds orbiting it.
