Recently Discovered Habitable World May Not Exist

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-not-so-hot dept.

sciencehabit better let Greg Dean know that "Two weeks ago, U.S.-based astronomers announced the discovery of the first Goldilocks planet circling another star: just the right size and just the right temperature to harbor alien life. But yesterday at an exoplanet meeting in Turin, Italy, Switzerland-based astronomers announced that they could find no trace of the prized planet in their observations of the same planetary system."

    That's no planet. It's a space station.

    Obligatory post but still should be modded up. Where's my points?
