I was hoping the planet in question would be orbiting Alpha Centauri. It would have been closer, though the mind worms could have been a problem.
Still, this is actually fairly interesting. Both the fact that they've found such a planet and the fact that they can find such a planet. It's not like you can use a telescope and look around for planets. I remember one of my professor last term making a comment on how little info you have to work with when trying to find extrasolar planets and the convoluted, unintuitive and indirect methods that have to be used. I don't remember much of it though, astrophysics is not my favorite part of physics.
