Yet to be confirmed, but they've discovered a star system with 9 planets! (And those are just the big detectable ones!)

The two latest are (nearly) super Earths. (well, 12x and 32x Earth's mass...), probably rocky.A star about 127 light-years from Earth may have even more planets than the sun, which would make the planetary system the most populated yet found.
According to a new study, HD 10180—a sunlike star in the southern constellation Hydrus—may have as many as nine orbiting planets, besting the eight official planets in our solar system.
