Savage Beatings Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 A new rocky planet has been discovered. Microlensing can detect small planets, but it is 50 times more likely to find a gas-giant planet like Jupiter. "Microlensing should have discovered dozens of Jupiters by now if they were as common as these five-Earth-mass planets," said study co-author David Bennett. That suggests most of our galaxy's planets are small and rocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) How about the cheap Sauders brand entertainment center, or the fact that I'm the last living human with a TV no bigger than 27". 1288354[/snapback] I think I had that exact entertainment system at my old house. And my TV is 31"... but it doesn't have any AV inputs. I should post a picture of my entertainment system for chuckles. Technologically, it's magnificient. Price-wise... it's a bargain. That what I get for being a Scottish geek. Tons of toys, none of which cost more than $75. ... oh, and... no joke... my wife has our CDs ordered by the color of the spine.

Donutrun Jellies Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Oh, this was worth clicking into ... it may well go down as one of the greatest examples of post hijacking in huddle history. Ahem, did everyone instantaneously forget about the interesting possibilities about the discovery of another rocky planet a cuzillion lightyears from here? Oh, wait. Sweet vertical blinds -- watch a homemakeover show, will you??!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Why did the people on OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb give their planet such a stupid name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
