This is Barnard&#x27;s star, a red dwarf 6 light years away. The planets are a little larger than Mars based on mass, very close in, with orbital periods of a few days, too hot for liquid water. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.uchicago.edu&#x2F;story&#x2F;study-uchicago-scientists-finds-four-tiny-planets-around-one-our-nearest-stars" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.uchicago.edu&#x2F;story&#x2F;study-uchicago-scientists-fi...</a><p>The actual paper: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iopscience.iop.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;10.3847&#x2F;2041-8213&#x2F;adb8d5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iopscience.iop.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;10.3847&#x2F;2041-8213&#x2F;adb8d5</a><p>Barnard&#x27;s star: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Barnard&#x27;s_Star" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Barnard&#x27;s_Star</a>

Clicking the link opens another tab with YouTube. Going back to the tab of the article keeps opening up new tabs for YouTube. End result, I can’t read the article. Anybody else has similar experience?
