Does HD 3167 Have Planets with Perpendicular Orbits?

The episode discusses a new paper questioning whether HD 3167 has planets with perpendicular orbits, challenging a previous claim. New data suggests coplanar orbits are more likely, but data tension remains due to measurement difficulties with the slow-rotating star. The system's geometry is unsettled, suggesting the need for different observational approaches.
