  1. Just a note of clarification. The articles I’ve seen say that astronomers say this is just the possibility of a planet. It might be a star in the background. They will look at this part of the sky in a year to see if the object is still there (more likely a background star) or moved (more likely a planet).

  2. Hi Paul, thanks for visiting. Yes, I know I’m being a bit sensationalist about the whole situation (and why I made sure I said ‘they think they’ve discovered’ one) but, well, it’s still pretty exciting in my book (and that book’s definitely a non-scientific one!).BestNik
