Post by: atomic7732 on August 25, 2010, 04:06:17 PM

Epically beating the 5 planet system "55 Cancri", system HD 10810 has... 7!

5 having Neptune masses, 1 is a Saturn like object, and one other with a mass of only 1.4 Earths.

One/two of them are unconfirmed. Though they have a low chance of false detection.
