Dear friends, we all know our planetary system, its sun, its planets and their orbits as show on the picture.
Recently astronomers assumed that totally different planetary system is lying 44 light years away from own planetary system. Barbara McArthur and her team at the University of Texas worked on the performance for 14 years and used Austin's McDonald Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope.
The odd planetary system's parent star is named Upsilon Andromedea. Astronomers have never faced such orbits before that c and d planets are at steep angle to each other. They stated that "after the planetary system is formed, huge and violent force could disrupt the orbits."
On the picture, c and d planets' exact masses are calculated through their radial velocity. c planet equals 14 Jupiters and d is 10 Jupiters. The innermost planet b is still implicit. The parent star is red dwarf, which is dummer and smaller than our sun.
