Kepler-90 / KOI-351 denotes a main sequence star about 2800 light years away in the constellation Draco. With about 1.1 times the mass of the sun, it is currently (2019) the only known star with eight exoplanets orbiting it, and thus has a (approximately) comparable planetary system to our solar system. The discovery or first publication took place in 2013 (Kepler-90 A to Kepler-90 H), Kepler-90 I was added at the end of 2017 - its discovery is based on data evaluations using deep learning (Google).

Eight macro photographs of nipples (lat. "Mamilla / Papilla mammae") result in eight planets (Kepler-90 B - H). Worked out on a scale of 1 : 100 million, the resulting image sizes are approx. 15.00 to 145.00 cm in diameter. Women, men and mammals were photographed.
