NASA 's TESS spots record-breaking stellar triplets.

System contains a set of twin stars orbiting each other every 1.8 days , and a third star that circles the pair in just 25 days .

The discovery smashes the record for shortest outer orbital period for this type of system, set in 1956 .

Roman could also find eclipsing stars bound together in even larger groups -- half a dozen or perhaps even more all orbiting each other like bees buzzing around a hive.

Roman may reveal never-before-seen categories of systems and objects that will surprise astronomers, co-author says.
