Is the planet special or is it a bait headline?
6.9 times larger than earth
Fucking exo-planet
is it even special though
What a time to be alive
I get what you mean but there's almost 6,000 exoplanets in NASA's catalog so one imagines it isn't as huge of a deal to find a new one as it would have been when say, Hubble was new. To that end it presumably happens often enough that you wouldn't get the meme's scenario of a 50 year career vet getting all spiteful because a kid beat him to the punch.
For real. Confirming the existence of any exo planet is a huge technological feat and yet now it's happening non stop. The first ever confirmed exo planet was 1995 and now we've got a catalog of almost 6,000 confirmed. Wild times!
That's too big to be special.
I mean spotting it in only 3 days feels like a pretty big feat in of itself, unless this kid had access to a database on one particular star's brightening and dimming or it's potential weeble wobbling about, he did in 3 days what usually takes weeks at a minimum if it's a planet the size of jupiter or bigger.
But is it 42.0 light years away?
Rounded, that's a clean 42 light years.
I bet it's Golgafrincham.
Yes and it rotates 80085 times per day!
Fun fact, that's well within the ballpark of how fast pulsars rotate.
Planetary intergalactic.
Another dimension, another dimension

Simpsons did it.
Reality is so unoriginal
Idk what is news and what is a meme anymore. Either way let's go back to burning anyone that suggests anything.
That sounds liek a suggestion to me. 🔥
It's important they clarify it's not 7 times larger
Didn’t even know the Earth was interning at NASA.
