Exciting, but let's not get too optimistic on this. Maybe it is smaller than most other exoplanets but not something that will be mentioned in the news (an exoplanet that was great news a year or two years ago) or it could simply be a mistaking (i guess those kind of things still happens and the non-existing exoplanet keeps 'its' name).

By the by, ever think you'd live to see yourself typing those words about a planet orbiting another star?  |
