For the first time, eight planets have been found orbiting a distant star, Kepler-90, 2,545 light-years from Earth in the Draco constellation, NASA announced Thursday.

The eight-planet system - the largest known outside of ours - orbits a star called Kepler 90 about 2,545 light-years away. "The Kepler-90 star system is like a mini version of our solar system ...

One appears to be a rocky planet only about 30 percent larger than the Earth that becomes the 8 th planet discovered orbiting a Sun-like star, designated Kepler-90, which is 2,545 lightyears away ...

In a joint teleconference today, NASA and Google announced the recent discovery an eighth planet orbiting the Sun-like star Kepler-90, located some 2,500 light-years from Earth. The newly ...

Scientists said they weren’t sure why the Kepler-90 system has such a crowded field. Perhaps some of the planets formed farther out and were eventually drawn inward, they said.

An artificial intelligence algorithm sifted through data from the Kepler space telescope and uncovered an eighth planet in a distant star system, according to NASA.

“The Kepler-90 star system is like a mini version of our solar system. You have small planets inside and big planets outside, but everything is scrunched in much closer,” said Andrew ...

The Kepler-90 planets have a similar configuration to our solar system, with small planets orbiting close to their star and larger planets farther away.[/caption]Only a handful of star systems ...

Nasa has found a distant star circled by eight planets, equal to the complement in our own Solar System. It's the largest number of worlds ever discovered in a planetary system outside our own ...

NASA says artificial intelligence has helped researchers discover an eighth planet circling a sunlike star called Kepler-90, more than 2,500 light-years from Earth.
