Detecting the 'copy' of the solar system

According to the Daily Mail, while tracking and analyzing the movement of planets through stars on Kepler-30 - a sun-like star, scientists who participated in the Kepler space exploration mission delivered show our solar system 'copy'.

Scientists have discovered for the first time a solar system that has 'staging' planets similar to those in our solar system.

Kepler-30 solar system is located about 1,000 light-years from Earth and only 3 planets, while our solar system has 8 planets. However, just like in our solar system, the Kepler-30 ' equator ' equator and the orbits of the remaining planets are almost in line.

The host star in the Kepler-30 system has a strong magnetic field and countless stars - darker and cooler regions than the rest of the star's surface - covered.

The discovery by Dr. Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda and colleagues has recently been published in the journal Nature. It seems to reveal the conditions that determine the structure of a planetary system.

So far, most planets that have been discovered are 'hot Jupiter' , unsuitable for human habitation. Moreover, these planets move too close to their parent star with orbits often not aligned, even opposite.

Professor Drake Deming, an expert from the University of Maryland (USA), describes the discovery of Sanchis-Ojeda group as 'attractive'. Their work has raised hopes of finding a second Earth - which can become a living environment for people in the future.
