)
All of them are categorized as super-Earths, that is, with masses that are larger than Earth's but less than Neptune's.
)
The planets studied are referred to by letter, planets b through h, in order of their distance from the star.
)
Due to the intense heat from its host star and its inability to maintain liquid water, the exoplanet doesn't have the potential to support life
)
They were detected by observing the wobbles in the movement of tau Ceti.
)
With the latest release, Kepler has detected a total of 4,034 planet candidates, of which 2,335 have been verified as exoplanets.
)
The first known system of seven Earth-sized planets around a single star was made using the US space agency NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

The star hosting the seven exoplanets isn't being talked about much, but holds equal importance since it is the body the new planets are orbiting.
)
Fascinatingly, at least three of the seven rocky worlds represent the “holy grail for planet-hunting astronomers” as they are firmly located in the 'habitable zone'.

The US space agency NASA has discovered another 'solar system' - seven Earth-like planets orbiting a small star in a galaxy 40 light years away.
)
These planets have been discovered from a trove of over 4,000 exoplanets discovered by NASA's Kepler mission till date.
)
Michael Gillon and the team from the University of Liege started their research project five years ago. Only in September last year they discovered three planets orbiting around a nearby dwarf star known as Trappist 1.
)
Scientists further claim that they are the best planets found so far when it comes to finding life outside our solar system.
)
"The number of planets being discovered outside our solar system is rapidly increasing. Our research helps to answer whether or not these planets could sustain alien life," said David Stevens from Britain's University of East Anglia (UEA).
)
The wind speed recorded is 20x greater than the fastest ever known on earth, where it would be seven times the speed of sound.
)
Earth-like planets orbiting close to small stars probably have magnetic fields that protect them from stellar radiation and help maintain surface conditions that could be conducive to life, new research shows.
