💨 Abstract

Astronomers have discovered four tiny planets orbiting Barnard's Star, the second-nearest star system to Earth. Each planet is approximately 20-30% the mass of Earth and completes its orbit around the star in a matter of days. The finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, adds to a November study that suggested the presence of at least one planet.
