    They recently found a large rock planet (as opposed to a gas giant like Jupiter), several times the mass of the Earth, that orbits close to its sun, and has molten metal oceans and rain.

    I wouldn't fancy meeting an alien from there, although they might have trouble launching rockets if the damn things kept melting!

    I wonder how long it will be before one of our "experts" claims that it is all due to there being a standing population of dinosaurs there that all drive 4x4s?
