Now, a team of researchers has shed new light on a seven-planet system in Kepler's ocean of data. The star is called Kepler 385, and it's about 4,670 light-years away.

Scientists said they weren’t sure why the Kepler-90 system has such a crowded field. Perhaps some of the planets formed farther out and were eventually drawn inward, they said.

The Kepler telescope, which was designed to search for planets like those found in the Kepler-385 system, stopped its primary observations in 2013, and conducted an extended mission until 2018.

The planet, dubbed Kepler-90i, is a hot, rocky planet that orbits its star every 14.4 days, and was found with the help of artificial intelligence, NASA said Thursday.
