Creation Moment 5/31/2019 - More of the Creator's Worlds

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God...
Hebrews 11:3

"Astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanets Survey Satellite (TESS) have discovered a compact three-planet system around the sixth-magnitude star HR 858.
The newly-discovered planets orbit HR 858, a slightly-evolved
F-type star, which is also a member of a visual binary system.
Also known as HD 17926, HIP 13363, TIC 178155732 and TOI 396, the star lies in the constellation of Fornax, approximately 104.4 light-years from Earth.
It has a radius 30% larger than the Sun, a mass 1.15 times solar, and a temperature of about 10,700 degrees Fahrenheit (5,928 degrees Celsius).
Named HR 858b, c and d, the new planets are all about twice the size of Earth.
According to the team, HR 858 is one of the brightest stars known to host transiting exoplanets."
