  1. How did they find this system? I thought to find planets,they relied on transits, which meant the plane of the system had to be edge on to us.

  2. Kind of neat that it happens to have what appears to be 8 planets in the system! I’m sure there’s more though and the ones we see are just the largest.

    Yayyyy! That’s amazing. I am so happy we can see this. I hope we stay far far away from this planetary system until our species becomes a little more grown up and don’t try to kill everything.

  4. It looks like an eyeball, It’s wild how often the universe ends up looking familiar. Like it’s staring back at us.
