NASA Detects Baby Planet
neema writes "Yesterday, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope (web site here) detected the youngest planet, at less than 1 million years old, known to exist. The planet, for those of you who want to visit or something, is 420 light years away circling the star CoKu Tau 4. According to astronomer Dan Watson of the University of Rochester, the discovery of this "Baby Planet" "really causes problems for the major theories of planetary formation." Arist conception pictures and more info can be found at the Planetary Photojournal."
Don't you believe it. They're real all right. They have visited AND returned.
When they came for the communists, I said "He's next door. Take him away. Goddam commies."
this just furthers my suspision that astrophysisicts know we don't understand their field, so they just sit around smoking the bong instead of doing real research.

This is a common misconception. Aliens aren't actually interested in space.
They found the Baby planet?
...and here I was--nevermind...it's absurd.
So THAT'S where they come from...
