Rhody...
I have absolutely no prediction about this thread, and with the cast of regulars we have here at PF, am hoping it will generate some funny, interesting discussion. Pengy, Jimmy, Evo, Lisa are you listening, or will this thread be just another heavy carbon 4000 light year from Earth dud ?Astronomers are theorizing that this as-yet unnamed planet--just 4,000 light years from us--is actually a relic of a star shed its outer layer to reveal its inner riches. Planet Tiffany (you have a problem with the name I've given it?) appears to be merely five times the size of Earth. The star it orbits every 2 hours and 10 minutes does have a very fetching name: J1719-1438.
