As of 1998 an extrasolar planet was confirmed to orbit 14 Herculis. As of 2005, a possible second planet was proposed. In 2006 the Systemic project proposed orbital solutions of three planets. While there are multiple data sets to analyze the system, all the best fits use a three planet system - two large planets, larger than Jupiter, and also one small planet, 2 - 4 % the mass of Jupiter, so a bit bigger than the Earth in a tight orbit and takes about 13 - 20 days long (at a distance of 0.1 to 0.15 AU.) 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
