HD 219134: A Nearby System with Multiple Transits

"HD 219134 is an orange K-class star (K3V) in the constellation Cassiopeia, and only about half the distance, at 21.25 light years, as TRAPPIST-1 (about 40 light years out). It was known before the recent Gillon et al. paper in Nature Astronomy that we had a super-Earth, HD 219134 b, in orbit here, which was soon joined by two more super-Earths, a gas giant and, a few months later, another two planets, making for a total of six."
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!
