Before Kepler outlined his laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century, humankind’s knowledge of the solar system and beyond was in its infancy and largely remained a mystery. At the time ...

Meet the Kepler-11 solar system. The five inner planets in the Kepler-11 system range in size from 2.3 to 13.5 times the mass of Earth. ... "By developing a model of the orbital dynamics, ...

Now, a team of researchers has shed new light on a seven-planet system in Kepler's ocean of data. The star is called Kepler 385, and it's about 4,670 light-years away.

The discovery of Kepler-385 has also revealed that planets tend to have more circular orbits – similar to our own solar system – when there are more than two planets orbiting a star.

Kepler will probably find quite a few systems similar to this one, and this new technique of using the slight changes in the orbital periods to get the planets' masses is really amazing and useful.

Scientists analyzed famed astronomer Johannes Kepler’s 1607 sketches of sunspots to solve a mystery about the sun’s solar cycle that has persisted for centuries.
