Summary

In this artist interpretation, the planet Kepler-30c is transiting one of the large starspots that frequently appear on the surface of its host star. The authors used these spot-crossing events to show that the orbits of the three planets (color lines) are aligned with the rotation of the star (curly white arrow). See also graphic without orbit lines in illustration below. Credit: Cristina Sanchis Ojeda
