Uh-oh -- I missed a day. Can you forgive me?

Neptune-Sized Planet Covered in Superhot Ice

One of the most dramatic extrasolar planetary discoveries of the year was announced this week; unfortunately, with little fanfare. Planet hunters uncovered a Neptune-sized planet orbiting a nearby star. This planet is close enough to its parent star that it's extremely hot - above 250 degrees Celsius. And yet the intense pressure from gravity forces large quantities of liquid water into solid ice.

This is something I didn't know. I like to be involved in these discoveries actually I heard that a small planet was also found in one of the Saturn's rings.
