Scientists have found a trio baby planets using a new technique of spotting unusual gas motion around developing stars.

The new technique described in a pair of papers in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. It’s the first time it’s been used to find planets and has spotted three around the newborn star codenamed HD163296.
