This image may not be used by or to promote the arms, nuclear power or tobacco industries or any religious organisation, or in any discriminatory way, or to imply the endorsement by ESO of any product, service or activity Sun-like star HD 10180. Optical image of the sky around the star HD 10180, which lies 127 light-years from Earth in the constellation Hydrus. Researchers have found five planets orbiting HD 10180 and there is evidence to suggest at least two more may be present. Evidence has also been found that shows the distances of the planets from their star follow a regular pattern similar to our own solar system.
