HD 180902
HD 180902 is a binary star approximately 342 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. The primary is a K-type star while the nature of the secondary is unknown since it has only been detected by its effect on the radial velocity of the primary.[5][1]

It has one confirmed planet, HD 180902 b[4], and one candidate planet.[5]
Planetary system
HD 180902 b was discovered using the Doppler spectroscopy method with observations taken at the W. M. Keck Observatory.[4] The radial velocities showed there a long term linear trend in the data indicating an additional companion of unknown nature with a longer period.[4] This was later shown due to a stellar binary companion.[5]
There is second unconfirmed planet with a mass twice that of Neptune and an orbital period of 15 days.[5]

gollark: I don't mean the cabinet, I mean the rest of the government and large companies.
gollark: It seems like regardless of how you pick the leaders and whatever, big organisations just operate increasingly badly over time/scale.
gollark: In any case, I don't even know if there's any way to get stable, fair and actually competent large-scale governance at this point.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: It doesn't seem like keeping the same governments in power eternally has actually produced good outcomes.
