Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. This star is too faint to be seen by the naked eye and its planets have not been imaged directly . Instead, their presence is inferred by a long series of telescopic observations, tracking the star as it wiggles and wobbles in mutual gravitational response to the masses of its orbiting planets. His work also indicates that a second and possibly third planet of similar mass could well be present in the system. Nevertheless, the existence of a planetary system so near our own suggests the intriguing possibility that planets are common in our galaxy.
