That looks similar to the current version of Orion's Arm's TRAPPIST-1 planets. Did you, by any chance, take some inspiration from it?

totm may 2020 [1.8.1] Real Exoplanets v0.9.6 [04/03/2020]
Hypercosmic replied to Andi K.'s topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Hey. I'm not sure if you guys have seen it or not, but Proxima Centauri c is now confirmed and another signal orbiting inwards of b has been found. On the 6 exomoon candidates: let's not get too hasty on it. From what I've heard, the 6 exomoon candidate paper was a bad research, calling them exomoons based on one 'rather weak line of evidence'. David Kipping and Alex Teachey (who found the exomoon candidate Kepler-1625 b i) were not impressed.- 348 replies

Finally, an Earthlike planet candidate to look forward to, after a bunch of fat balls, sunbather planets, and red dwarf dwellers. If this planet is confirmed with no significant changes, it will be on the same class as Kepler-62f, Kepler-186f, and Kepler-442b, as some of the planets with the best chances of being habitable. For the note, I never really understand articles that include planets like Proxima b or TRAPPIST-1e for planets with the best chances of being Earthlike. Hugging their respective red dwarf stars is pretty much a big no. Not because they get tidal locked, but the extreme radiation (TRAPPIST-1e) and flares (Proxima b) should pretty much ensure that these worlds are either ocean worlds, if their density is low, or airless desert worlds, if their density is high.

Nope, I wasn't talking about your calcs, but you're pretty good with numbers. I guess I need to look into these kinds of stuff more...

...so 15:4 for 47b and 47d, and 8:5 for 47d and 47c? The former is within 1%, and the latter is within 1.2%, apparently. Not bad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-47 b: 49.51 days d: 187.35 days c: 303.158 days ...they're close, but probably not close enough.

If we're adding more planets, I want to see those which are not Solar System rip-offs, down to the name initials.

5121: This floor consists of a single, completely empty room, which has a single balcony. The balcony platform allows you to look far. The sky's color is blue-green, which gives a rather strange feeling. More familiar white clouds roll beneath you, but the surface, if there is even any, is invisible. Strangely, the air is breathable, despite what your common sense says. You wondered if this building's floors are even actually connected physically. Observation from this room suggests otherwise, with the entire building above you appearing to be a tall, slender pillar with no visible feature. No windows, no balconies, no variation in size, not even difference in colors. It's like you're in some sort of limbo, but after everything you've experienced, you don't really mind this floor's peculiarity. Just as you turned back towards the staircase, you caught a glimpse of a person running down the stairway. You swore you saw your own face in that split second the figure rushed past. Nevertheless, you decided to ignore them and continue upwards.

Apparently, the third planet in the Kepler-47 system has been confirmed, and it's even bigger than the first two.

Vote to name largest minor planet in our solar system
Hypercosmic replied to steve58's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Vote for Gonggong the Chaos Dragon! It would be great to have more non European/Hawaiian names for important objects. The name also goes along well with Eris, a planet with similar orbit named after the goddess of chaos. I wonder if 2002 MS4 will be named soon, too... -
Second planet candidate found around Proxima Centauri
Hypercosmic replied to Hypercosmic's topic in Science & Spaceflight
This puny super-Earth/mini-Neptune planet is nothing. We have already found a full fledge gas giant in a red dwarf system. -
Second planet candidate found around Proxima Centauri
Hypercosmic replied to Hypercosmic's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The Wiki is updated as well, but the orbital period listed is 1,894 days instead. Seeing that the resulting semi-major axis looks more natural than the one for 1936 days (which yields exactly 1.5 AU, for some reason), I guess that's the correct value. Can't really be sure until it's confirmed though. -

Sorry. You cannot undo your actions. But we do offer a new planet. It's called Eve. Now I want a habitat for people to live in on this new world.

You bow to the three skeletons and hold a small funeral for them. After this, you moved on to the next floor. Floor 5050: On this floor, you found a single girl doll, apparently in a permanent state of nodding, its head bobbing up and down. You nodded, although confused, before proceeding on to the next.

You returned to the building and proceed on to the next floor. Floor 5047: Upon arrival, you saw a giant pile of potatoes. Apparently, this is the potato storage room. You decided to cook and eat some before proceeding on to the next floor.
