An astronomical waltz reveals a sextuplet of planets

To-scale animation of the orbits of the six resonant planets in the HD110067 system. The pitch of the notes played when each planet transits matches the resonant change in orbital frequencies between each subsequent planet. The relative sizes of the planets is accurate, although their true size compared to the star is much smaller. © Dr. Hugh Osborn, Universität Bern / University of Bern
