the system of planets is relatively close to us, in the constellation Aquarius

Seems like that might answer your question!

I'm currently in school studying Computer Science with a focus in programming and software development. My goal is to work in the space development division of a company like Lockheed Martin. My question is - what path did you follow to get where you are and do you have any advice for someone like myself?

This is so exciting! Congratulations on a truly amazing discovery. My questions: How will the atmospheric content of these planets be determined? Also, is there any speculation as to why all seven of the planets in this system are earth-sized and rocky? Does this potentially suggest that earth-like planets (and therefore life) are more common than we thought?

Have there been any other interesting effects of microgravity on the human body besides occasional loss of vision and loss of bone density? Also, how does the shift of fluids affect other internal organs, such as the lungs and respiratory system? I can't wait to see the official results of the study!

Awesome, thank you so much for your reply!
