Six-planet system discovered that moves in perfect mathematical harmony
Researchers have identified a fascinating six-planet system that offers a different take on planetary configurations. The newly reported configuration features six planets around a single star. Their orbits line up in a synchronized manner, which astronomers call resonance.
When planets move in resonance, their orbital periods stay in a fixed ratio for millions or even billions of years. This pattern can be so exact that it reminds some observers of musical tempos.

Solar system has resonances too, though. It's not something exclusive to that one place, and it's something that arises naturally.
