... by whom also he made the worlds... Hebrews 1:2
"Kepler-88, also known as KOI-142, is a Sun-like star located 1,243 light-years away in the constellation of Lyra.
The star hosts two previously identified planets, Kepler-88b and c, which have a bizarre and striking dynamic called mean motion resonance.
The sub-Neptune-sized Kepler-88b orbits the star in just 11 days, which is almost exactly half the 22-day orbital period of Kepler-88c, a Jupiter-mass planet.
The clockwork-like nature of their orbits is energetically efficient, like a parent pushing a child on a swing. Every two laps Kepler-88b makes around the star, it gets pumped.
The newfound planet, named Kepler-88d, orbits its parent star every 1,403 days, and its orbit is not circular, but elliptical.
“So maybe Kepler-88d is the new supreme monarch of this planetary empire — the empress” said lead author Dr. Lauren Weiss."
