Well, I found it on the BBC's website-no referece to Vulcans of
course, as the Space.com website reffered to in their
newsletter. but what we may have here is a Hubble target. and it
is in the right place for a large gas giant type planet. As  a
_Comet Sweeper_ gee, and I thought those were rare as in "Rare
Earth".

Oh, one more thing: I'm not a real devotee of "Star Treck" at
least I delete anything that isn't important to the basic story,
okay I, don't go to the conventions, but I can tell the
difference between Patrick Stewart and Bill Shatner: you see
Shatner's the one with the wig, Stewart knows the proper
coffure' for a Starship Captian. Anyway, what was the name of
the Fellow who supposedly invented "Warp Drive"? in the "Treck "
Saga Wasn't it Cochrane?

The guy who found this panet's orbit was named Dr. William
Cochran just an interesting, fascinating, coincidence, if you
believe in coincience.
