Four tiny planets found orbiting one of Earth's nearest stars in 'incredible' discovery
Barnard's Star is the second-nearest star system to Earth, and four tiny planets have been discovered around it
Four small rocky planets confirmed orbiting nearby Barnard's star
Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - though they concluded that all of them are too hot to harbor life, much like our solar system's innermost planet Mercury.
