Named HD219134, the system in the constellation Cassiopeia hosts one outer giant planet and three inner superEarths, one of which transits in front of the star and has a density similar to the Earth's. It is by far the closest transiting planet known today, researchers said.HARPS-N, designed and built by an international consortium and installed at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in Spain's La Palma Island unveiled the exceptional planetary system around HD219134. The star, a 5th magnitude K dwarf, slightly colder and less massive than our Sun, is so bright that we can follow it with a naked eye from dark skies, next to one leg of the W-shape Cassiopeia constellation, all year round in our boreal hemisphere, researchers said.
