Five of the six planets of the TOI-178 system, discovered using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope, orbit their star in resonance. The "rhythmic movement of the planets around the central star is represented through a musical harmony," in this animation, according to ESO. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada
