More idiot all knowning scientists ping, this is an extremely high volumn ping list that involves almost every science story posted, so, be forewarned before you get on this ping list, now statements from the story ...

1) found to be orbiting a star 375 light-years away shouldn't exist at all.

2) but this star isn't the kind of star one would expect to find planets at all.

3) This poses a very interesting question, and a conundrum.

As if all there current knowledge is correct and this just doesn't fit. Meanwhile, the real truth is they have no real knowledge at all beyond the edge of our ionosphere let alone further out into deep space. These kinds of articles always make me laugh. Do they realize how arragont they sound?

I would think that a star with low amounts of heavier elements would be on the younger side. I wonder if comparing the spectral analysis against the Suns’ would show any other MIA elements?
