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.

“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.

Data from NASA's Kepler space telescope have revolutionized the search for planets outside the Solar System — and are now doing the same for asteroseismology.
