Description	English: (Cited from NASA’s source website:) This artist concept depicts "multiple-transiting planet systems," which are stars with more than one planet. The planets eclipse, or transit, their host stars from the vantage point of the observer. This angle is called edge-on. NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has found hundreds of these multiple-planet systems.
