Ah, that makes sense. I seem to recall there was a bit of uncertainty. Some of the particularly large extrasolar planets they've detected indirected could apparently be dwarf stars of some kind, rather than Jupiter on steroids.

Jay: Apparently, although I must have missed it. The "news" is that the photo has been verified to be of a planet, I guess.

They haven't yet convinced the planet to sign a release.

That is extremely cool; however, I admit to being very disappointed when I clicked the link and found no picture.
