Discovered in Ophiuchus, the snake-holder. DEVIL PLANET.

edit: Also, "the world's most prolific planet hunter" might be the coolest physics title ever.

I like what comes after the hunt, when you get to cut up, cook, and eat ... wait, why are you looking at me like that?

If we wanted the water from said planet and piped a 1/2" copper tube to it for plumbing, it would cost $3,535,282,760,000,000,000.00 if we ordered it from plumbingsupply.com

hmm... there's a terrible joke about bottled water in there somewhere.

I think you forgot to include the cost of copper fittings.

1.6 day orbit? Man, that thing is close to its sun.
