Our Solar System is kind of boring. I mean, it only has eight planets. But are there any more impressive systems known to us, and what is the theoretical limit on the number of planets around a single star? And if we could design planetary systems ourselves, how many planets could we fit there? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands?
