Liske explains the significance of a new found planetary system
in the European Southern Observatory's ''ESOcast.'' ESOcast 20:
Richest planetary system discovered Astronomers using ESO
instruments have discovered a remarkable extrasolar planetary
system that has some striking similarities to our own Solar
System. At least five planets are orbiting the Sun-like star HD
10180, and the regular pattern of their orbits is similar to
that observed for our neighbouring planets. One of the new
extrasolar worlds could be only 1.4 times the mass of the Earth,
making it the least massive exoplanet ever found. This video
podcast explains how these faraway planets were detected and
exactly what we know about them. Russia Today: Amazing"
