Astronomers have found a star system that has at least seven planets; three of which could possibly host life.

The team of astronomers is from the University of Gottingen in Germany, and the leader says it is the largest discovery of habitable planets ever found in one system.

The Gilese 667C solar system is 22 light years away and has three planets that have been described as super-Earths.
