“is composed of about three-fourths water and other ices and one fourth-rock,”
Something against using the word \”quarter\” then ?

Hmmm… Does ’42′ seem just a bit convenient?

That’s a hot planet … And where does the water come from when it boils and goes up in steam or is the atmosphere there like that that it works a bit different. Hm …. I’m glad I don’t live there. If it is really there, that is. It’s a lot of guessing they still do ofcourse. Brainstorming.

i cannot be the only one who can’t help but attach rather too much meaning to the number 42. especially when it’s spacey stuff.

“The so-called “super Earth” is about 42 light years away in another solar system”

I can’t decide if Yahoo is treating us like idiots, or if there really are people out there who think our solar system is 42 light years in diameter…
