I saw that on the bad astronomer’s blog the other day. It’s not confirmed to be a planet yet, I don’t think. Leastways it wasn’t on Monday. Whether it proves to be a planet 8 times the size of Jupiter or something else (say perhaps a very small star that just happened to be there, which is statistically unlikely) should prove interesting.
Oh, dash these cosmic sunflowers! 
Arrrr!

Oh my, there’s a blast from the past. I saw that when I was 10…
which put me right in the target audience, I think.
“Oh God, Space Herpes!”
Companion to a young, sun-like star? Michelle Obama or Joe Biden of course.
