Scientists Discover New Solar System series

LONDON - Found a new solar system that contains the seven planets with a distance of 127 light years from Earth. This solar system is believed by scientists as the largest after the sun.

"We have found that the same solar system like our solar system in general," said Dr. Christope Lovis, scientists from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) was quoted as saying by the Telegraph, Wednesday (25/08/2010).

Initially, scientists confirmed that there are five planets in the solar system, but then after the analysis there are two more planets. The distance between these planets with the star as well as our solar system.

"This incredible discovery also shows that we are now entering the era of Exoplanet research, the study of planetary systems. Learning about the movement of planets in their orbits tells us about the evolution of the solar system," adds Lovis.

Stars of the solar system, named HD 10 180, located in the southern constellation of Hydrus with distance 127 light years from Earth.

Astronomers have patiently studied for six years using the HARPS instrument spectograph, which is mounted on the ESO telescope at La Silla, Chilli.

The planets in our solar system, measuring 13 to 25 times that of Earth. By the time during the 600 day orbit.

Dr. Lovis said they also are studying two planets of the seven planets in the solar system. One is the size of the planet Saturn, another similarly sized as the earth.

Until now, astronomers have found 15 of the solar system that have at least three planets. The latter is 55 Calibri, a solar system
