Here is a great result
of the new surveillance triple star system Gliese 667 from astrophotographer
Ephraim Morales from the observatory Jaicoa, located in Puerto Rico. Recently
found that the system of one of these stars, 667 C, consists of seven
candidates for the title of the planets revolving around it. If all the seven
planets are confirmed, then in the habitable zone of this system will be based
on three super-Earths,
This system is in the
constellation Scorpius and barely visible to the naked eye, having a magnitude
of 5.9 - that is, it looks like a point of light. These three stars are turning
to each other, woven in a bizarre dance. Two of the most prominent representatives
of this system, Gliese 667 Gliese 667 A and B, refer to each other by a
distance exceeding the distance from the Sun to the Earth about 13 times.
