At 127 light years distant the HD 10180 system shares many similarities with our own Solar System.
Discovered to have at least five planets back in 2010, the system is making headlines again thanks to new data suggesting that there are actually as many as nine planets orbiting the star including two smaller Earth-sized worlds. At least five of the planets are thought to be large bodies like the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. In 2010, a star 127 light-years away stunned the world -- it had become the largest star system beyond our own, playing host to five, possibly seven, alien worlds. Now, the star (called HD 10180) is back in the headlines; it may actually have nine exoplanets orbiting it.
