Scientists have discovered four tiny planets circling our second-closest star system, Barnard’s Star. The reddish ball of gas is only six light-years away from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus.

The outflow is about 625 light-years from Earth in one of the closest star-forming regions of our Milky Way galaxy, according to NASA. A light-year is equivalent to almost 6 trillion miles.
