New Planet Noticed

Per Wired (Why don't they just call it "Tweaking!"?) it's a mere 42 lt. yrs. away.
It’s not exactly Earth’s twin: It’s about six times bigger, a whole lot hotter and made mostly of water. But compared to the giant gas balls that account for nearly every other extrasolar planet ever found, it’s pretty darn close.
Give us a couple of hundred yrs. & we'll have "our" planet just as hot & wet, if not as massive.
