The four stars and one planet of the 30 Ari system are illustrated in this diagram. This quadruple star system consists of two pairs of stars: 30 Ari B and 30 Ari A. A gas giant planet (red) orbits one of the stars in 30 Ari B about once a year. New observations led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, identified the fourth star in the system (green); the three others stars and the planet were previously known. This is the second quadruple star system known to host a planet.
Planet With Four Stars [https://archive.today/2Cjk4]: This artist's conception shows the 30 Ari system, which includes four stars and a planet. The planet, a gas giant, orbits its primary star (yellow) in about a year's time. The primary star, called 30 Ari B, has a companion -- the small "red dwarf" star shown at upper left. This pair of stars is itself locked in a long-distance orbit with another pair of stars (upper right), known as 30 Ari A.

* "Astronomers see star explode four times" (2015-03-06) [https://archive.today/GMkkn]: Astronomers have glimpsed a far off and ancient star exploding, not once, but four times.The exploding star, or supernova, was directly behind a cluster of huge galaxies, whose mass is so great that they warp space-time. This forms a cosmic magnifying glass that creates multiple images of the supernova, an effect first predicted by Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity 100 years ago.
* Illustration showing gravitational lensing producing four supernova images [https://archive.today/kTQ03]: The light has been magnified and distorted due to gravitational lensing and as a result the images are arranged around the elliptical galaxy in a formation known as an Einstein cross.The massive galaxy cluster focuses the supernova light along at least three separate paths, and then when one of those light paths happens to be precisely aligned with a single elliptical galaxy within the cluster, a secondary lensing effect occurs. The dark matter associated with the elliptical galaxy bends and refocuses the light into four more paths, generating the rare Einstein cross pattern that the team observed.

The black, Death Star-like, orb is briefly engulfed in light from the sun, then flies off into space. A video edited from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's photos inspired a wave of speculation on YouTube. The imagery was captured by Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory and edited together by a YouTube user, Sunsflare, who challenged experts to explain the strange 'visitor.' Naturally, the space agency has a rather more ordinary explanation for the strange, black orb. It's not a visitor from another solar system - or a planet being born out of the surface of the sun, as others had speculated. Instead, it's a solar 'prominence' or 'filament' - a feature extending out from the sun which forms over the course of a day, and can extend hundreds of thousands of miles into space. Scientists are still puzzled as to why these features form. The 'dark' parts are material cooler than the surrounding solar matter. [end excerpt]

Scientists from Britain and Spain believe there could be at least two planets the size of Earth hiding at the edge of the Solar System.
They've observed small, icy objects that orbit the Sun beyond Neptune and Pluto with orbits consistent with objects being influenced by the gravitational pull of planets.
"The exact number is uncertain, given that the data that we have is limited, but our calculations suggest that there are at least two planets, and probably more, within the confines of our solar system," said Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, an astrophysicist at Complutense University of Madrid.
The researchers also looked at the orbit of the dwarf planet 2012 VP113, which is the farthest known object to orbit the sun. It is roughly twice as far from the sun as Pluto. They believe its orbit could also be influenced by a "dark and icy super-Earth" that could be 10 times the size of Earth.
The research is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters.
