a possibly habitable planet in another solar system...

From ScienceDaily: Astronomers Find First Habitable Earth-like Planet. So what if its year is only 13 days and it's got a mass of five times Earth's. (One of the other news sites mentioned that it has one side that always faces its sun. I wonder if that's observation or speculation? I mean, 20.5 light-years is pretty far away to know much about the place.)

But the funniest thing on the page, to me, was the ad from eBay:

"Solar system planets

Forget Rubik's cubes and autographed baseballs. I'm shopping for a planet today.
