Scientists have discovered a planet that they can’t quite explain, because although it’s 75% as big as Jupiter, its core is as big as 70 Earths. The planet was detected because it was tugging on its own star, rather than vice versa.
“This is a very weird object,” said one astronomer with what we will assume was a kind of small smirk and wiggling of eyebrows. For one thing, its mere presence kind of throws what we thought we knew about planetary development out the window. So it’s back to the drawing board and another stupid mystery to be solved by those dumb scientists who don’t realize that God did it, and that’s that!
