Title had me thinking the star was orbiting the planets 😅

In his book Cosmos, Carl Sagan et al simulated planet formation in which they produced some planetary systems where the giant planets were closer to the star than the rocky planets were. The simulation they used was probably crude compared to today's, but nonetheless it opened up the possibility to a younger me that not all planetary systems would look like ours.

Maybe this outlier rocky planet wasn't formed in its now host Solar System at all? But, instead, was ejected from another Star System? Meaning, It's just another lost and homeless planet, doing a bit of couchsurfing between gigs? Just a thought, though? 🌑🤔

There are LOTS of Hot Jupiters. How many of them also have undetected rocky planets much further out?

At first I expected a planet in a center of several spinning stars around it

We observe planets with the transit method: We only see them IF they are passing in front of the star from our point of view. Doesn't that create a big bias for observing so many "regular planetary systems" ?

I dunno that I think there are rules for planetary systems so much as "general guidelines," or maybe "statistical tendencies." Shake half a trillion times, and there will be some "variations."

You've talked about the planet creation and current location , but planets can also migrate, which can explain all of it IMO.

Hey, Slartibartfast, you got the plan pages out of order.

Ag3167 is an awesome system, the way they all rotate at right angles to each other would be an amazing sight
