Astronomers at the University of G?ttingen in Saxony, Germany have recently discovered the existence of two, maybe three, planets orbiting the red dwarf star of GJ 887. They're bigger than Earth, the largest known rocky planet in the Solar System, but smaller than Neptune, the smallest known gas planet in the Solar System.
