Very interesting. I wonder how many planets have been discovered so far? I'm losing track.

How will the greenfreaks stop this type of global warming!?!?!?

Face it hippies, our world will end in a firey hell. No federal regulations against a shoe factory in Pittsburgh will stop it.

This could be series! Time to take a long shower.;~)

One team of theorists has even calculated a way to move our planet out of danger.

Talk about nothing better to do. Calculating a solution for a problem that won't happen for millions of years? I mean I have got better things to do with my time.

The planet is five to 10 times heavier than Jupiter and orbits the star more than twice as far as Earth is from the Sun, or at a distance of roughly 186 million miles (300 million kilometers). It goes around the star every 712 days

This isn't exactly a planet as it's pushing the envelope for a protostar or brown dwarf classification. Of course being that large does mean that it will create it's own habitable zone in the form of radiated heat from the planet.

Come to think of it there was an article that postulated that Earth type planets may not be able to survive gravitational pertubations around stars due to influences from gas giants.

We may find that there are more habitable giant moons (like Callisto/Europa/Ganymede size) than habitable planets outside the solar system.

"It is almost 400 light-years away."

What!?!! That's practically in the back yard!

For an interesting alternative explanation of these discoveries visit this site:

http://www.electric-cosmos.org

Binary stars and the common configuration of a star and gas giant planets may be the result of the electrical nature of the universe.

As an EE this makes a lot of sense to me, but the site is written for the lay-person with links to more thorough research.

enjoy...

Bloated... red... in the "Big Dog" constellation... I propose that we name this star "Clinton's Nose".

I think it's around 100 or so. ("Or so" meaning +/- 25).
