Planetary system

As of 2011, three extrasolar planets have been found to orbit the star. Announced on the first of November 1999, the first planet (HD 37124 b)[4][5] was discovered orbiting its parent star around the inner edge of the habitable zone, causing the planet to have a somewhat similar insolation to that of Venus. A second planet became apparent by 2003, thought to orbit in a 1940 days on an eccentric orbit,[6] but this was subsequently found to be unstable.[7] Solving this, a three-planet solution was announced in 2005:[8] this contained a second planet (HD 37124 c) orbiting at the outer edge of the habitable zone with an insolation similar to that of Mars, and a third planet, (HD 37124 d). While not obviously in any orbital resonances in 2005, an updated solution announced in 2011 found planets c and d to likely be in a 2:1 resonance.[9]

gollark: * diseases
gollark: They can spread other diesases, though.
gollark: Wouldn't that cause similar problems to the mosquitoes?
gollark: We must destroy all mosquitoes.
gollark: Possibly, but they *are* very annoying so it's probably worth it.
