Extrasolar planetary systems
Steve,

Actually, it's the first multiplanet system found by microlensing.

There are dozens of other stars besides our Sun known to have more than 1 planet orbiting them,. The leader is 55 Cancri, with 5 known planets (I wrote on this in AS&T Jan/Feb 2008, page 10).

Cheers,
Greg
