Puzzling six-exoplanet system with rhythmic movement challenges theories of how planets form

[smp]

From phys.org:
"Using a combination of telescopes, including the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO's VLT), astronomers have revealed a system consisting of six exoplanets, five of which are locked in a rare rhythm around their central star. The researchers believe the system could provide important clues about how planets, including those in the Solar System, form and evolve."

This is a few days late (published on January 25), but hopefully still interesting.

Hi Stephen. A very interesting article here. Several astronomers are still studying the possibility of a "harmonic resonance" within our own solar system:
