This isn't a post about the movie, The Magnificent Seven, actually it's about the recent discovery of seven new planets that are orbiting a star, the interesting thing about these planets is that they are close to each other and in the habitable zone of their solar system. The picture above is an artists concept of what the planets may look like based on available data.

At about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) from Earth, the system of planets is relatively close to us, in the constellation Aquarius. Because they are located outside of our solar system, these planets are scientifically known as exoplanets. The Solar system is called the TRAPPIST-1 system.

Oh space, you amaze me.
