Not sure is this is the appropriate forum, but the extra solar planet hunters are coming up with some really odd discoveries..... this latest one seems right out of science fiction .... a super hot Mesklin... HAT-P-2b is an 8 jup mass, radius 1.18 jup, density 6.6gm/c3 planet (?) that orbits the F8 star HD147506 in 5.63 days at an orbital separation of 0.0685 AU and an eccentricity of 0.5e. But according to researchers its radius fits right on the theoretical curves for a super massive planet due to extreme electron degeneracy pressure. See http://oklo.org/?p=208 Or perhaps we have a cryptoplanet? See http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/0704.2860 Whew!!!!

To tell you the truth, I didn't really believe the theories about migrating planets until Alan Stern responded to one of my posts here to tell me that, yes, real scientists DID believe this now. But that still doesn't validate Velikovsky. ;-) It was all over long before Man evolved, so unlikely to have been involved in any Bible stories. --Greg
