Has anyone called the Suicide Prevention Hotline on its behalf? Well, it has a million years before its demise, I guess there’s plenty of time...

Jupiter-Like Planet Could Point to Another Earth
by Robert Roy Britt
13 June 2002
The primary discovery is a gas giant planet that circles a star called 55 Cancri every 13 years, comparable to Jupiter's 11.86-year orbit. The planet is between 3.5 and 5 times as heavy as Jupiter... The new planet orbits 55 Cancri at 5.5 astronomical units (AU). One AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun. Jupiter orbits at 5.2 AU. The same team had already spotted another planet around 55 Cancri, a place slightly less massive than Jupiter. It orbits so close to the star that it makes a complete orbit in just 14.6 days.

Less than a day orbit? Unless planets are tougher than I think, that one should be gone by now. Plus, you'd be hung over all the time, and hoarse from singing Auld Lang Syne.

Apocryphal, anthropological, asswipe; planets, rocks, stars aren’t living beings — they’re abstracts, not avatars.

Hellier's report on the suicidal planet To call it a "suicidal planet" is stupid.
There are natural forces at work, the planet itself isn't intentionaly self destructing.

With postal service being the way it is, perhaps the planet just found out Obama was elected last year.
