Distance from the farthest planet to the star is smaller than the distance from the earth to the Sun 10 times.
Planetary scientists have stated that the planetary system Kepler-80 is a kind of dolls.
This is due to the fact that the orbits of the four planets in the system are synchronized in such a way that they every 27 days to form the same shape.
The system has been opened with the help of a telescope “Kepler” in 2012, it consists of five exoplanets. Kepler-80 is located at a distance of 1100 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The uniqueness of the system lies in the fact that the distance from the farthest of the planets to the star is smaller than the distance from the earth to the Sun 10 times.
Scientists have tried to figure out how planets manage to maintain the stability of the orbits. To do this, they observed the change in brightness of a star, when the exoplanet passed him by. As a result, the researchers found that the last four planets in the system combined in an unusual way.
The second planet, Kepler-80d, made three orbits around the star in every two revolution of the third planet, Kepler-80e.
Similarly, for every three orbits Kepler-80e had a couple of orbits of the fourth planet, Kepler-80b. In turn, Kepler-80b made four turns around the parent star in the same time that her distant neighbor, Kepler-80c, spent three turns.
Such an organization of planetary rotation leads to the fact that they every 27 days to form the same figure, arranging the parade of planets.
