 | View Full Version : New Planet Discovered viGeek 06-13-2002, 10:39 PM Cool beans. akashik 06-14-2002, 08:23 AM They also found the least massive world ever detected around another star, a planet just 40 times as heavy as Earth. Scientists theorize the extra weight is the result of McDonalds franchises and Coke bottles strewn across the surface. :D Greg Moore allan 06-14-2002, 08:27 AM Very cool...I wanted to be an astronomer when I was a kid (I know its hard to believe that I didn't spend my childhood wishing to be a faceless employee in a cubicle :D). So, events like this are very fascinating to me. akashik 06-14-2002, 08:33 AM I know what you mean.. I grew up watching Karl Sagan's 'Space' series and used to be facinated by it. Even now I'm hooked the minute I see anything space related on Discovery Channel. Greg Moore allan 06-14-2002, 08:40 AM Originally posted by akashik I know what you mean..

That was the best show...all of the cool stuff he shared was fascinating. My wife and I drove out to Milwaukee from Virginia last October for a vacation. On the way out there, I made her listen to Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" on the way out there...I think she would have liked it better if he hadn't done the audio :). phpjames 06-14-2002, 08:41 AM I cant wait to go.. when do we leave? Im driving. :) allan 06-14-2002, 08:46 AM Originally posted by phpjames I cant wait to go.. when do we leave?

I went to New York last week for a job interview, Roseanne insisted on coming...10 hours in a car, over a two day period, with a pregnant woman is not something I ever want to do again :D. phpjames 06-14-2002, 08:48 AM No no I meant about the new planet. When are we leaving earth for the new planet? I wanna drive! Ill get us all there faaaaaaaaast! Congrats about the new kiddie though. ;-) allan 06-14-2002, 08:50 AM Dammit -- I have to stop assuming the world revolves around me :D. mahinder 06-14-2002, 07:57 PM Originally posted by akashik I know what you mean..
