'Perfect solar system' found in search for alien life | BBC News

Researchers have located "the perfect solar system", forged without the violent collisions that made our own mix of different-sized planets.
The system, 100 light years away, has six planets all about the same size and is thought to have been formed up to 12 billion years ago.
The creation of our own solar system was a violent process, with planets crashing into each other, disturbing orbits and leaving us with giants like Jupiter and Saturn alongside relatively small worlds like our own.
In solar system HD110067, as astronomers have named it, things couldn't be more different - and these undisturbed conditions make it ideal for learning how these worlds formed and whether they host life.

Many of the key players in telling the world what space is are Freemasons including the Astronauts. The Freemasons are a secret society but much of what they do can be learned by outsiders but never confirmed officially by them. There organisation is a secret society who have no interest in telling You the truth of this world so perhaps you should think about that before believing what they tell you is true about space.

We as humans seem fixated on finding planets that are similar to our own, those that could potentially support life as we know it. What if in doing so we miss other life in a form yet to be understood.

[@HowP88]

The huge scale of the universe makes searching for life incredibly difficult, so it is far easier to start with what we know. As Amy said, with the James Webb Space telescope we can observe a planet's atmospheric composition to look for chemicals that we know are created by life as we know it. If we tried to look for different kinds of life, we wouldn't know what we would be looking for, so we would miss it anyway and also waste our time and effort.

Solar system is called HD 110067 “With six major planets, its architecture is intriguing,” Knicole Colon, a Nasa astrophysicist and exoplanet expert. “These planets are likely not going to support life, as they are all likely too warm and too large. But still the whole sub-Neptune angle is the intriguing part, [because] we don't yet know why our solar system does not have one.” The new planets are called sub Neptune because they’re bigger than the close-in, rocky worlds of our solar system, such as Earth and Venus, but not as big as the ice giants Neptune and Uranus. They range from two to three times the diameter of Earth. The innermost planet orbits the star in just nine days, while the outermost makes that journey in 54 days. There could be other planets in the system that remain undetected. So I guess we'll have to wait and see if there's something exciting hiding away in there. The BBC really is piss poor these days.

Great work

[@kemdo123]

And this will be the last time we ever hear of it….

[@petrosstyle2981]

from what I can understand , it's nothing important this 'discovery' and life is extremely unlikely to exist on those 6 planets

[@farabiiim2272]

just only one thing make me think what is the matter of those researchs if we can't never reach there

[@pev1293]

perfect timing lol, im doing an article about life in the universe for a project in school and tomorrows the deadline. literally perfect timing

[@orlandonecesito4904]

They can name one of the six planets "AMY".

[@MegaBanne]

I find it interesting that they still adhere to the same old models, when all these observed solar systems shows is that our system is unique. No other system resembles our system. The models of our solar system creation only applies to our system and no other system. Sounds more like they are missing something than anything else.

How people know what happen billion years back? is it possible to know? i think its not possible

[@hgbnkbggj2915]

Not trying to be rude, but you're wrong - for this simple reason. Light has a very fast but finite speed. When you look into space, you are seeing it as it was previously. The moon is a second in the past. The sun is 8 minutes in the past. Some stars/glaxies are a billion years or more in the past...

[@changecollar]

@@hgbnkbggj2915 I know men that is not my problem, my issue is for example you say earth age is ...billion, how you know how many year belong on earth on galaxy. There is no possibility to know, that's why its so fake

[@rhyshewison6734]

The fact I'm hearing about this 3 weeks later shows how uninterested most people are about alien life.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

12 billion years ago the metalicity of the universe was too low, so vital for life elements are probably missing in that system.

[@dnakatomiuk]

What a weird bit from the newscaster just then

[@greedowins]

12 billion?

An interview should almost always be conducted by someone with a cursory understanding of the most likey subject disscussed be it topical or biographical.

[@doubledoubleusmokymirror4d405]

So what is this solar system called? How can it support life?

[@nellyfootlong]

It's a parallel earth without the district of "fife" in scotland

[@christopherdavis2791]

The cgi is cool and all but do they have actual photos of this system? I cant find any at all

[@geebees1545]
