This companion is probably too massive to have formed the way we believe that planets do, namely from a circumstellar disk of gas and dust when the star was young. This finding suggests that a diversity of processes act to populate the outer regions of other systems.

The chemical and isotopic composition of the sun is the starting composition from which all planets formed.

That?s a crazy statistic and one nobody would probably believe if you told them, but that?s just what this team is about. Everybody?s great at getting the ball to the open guy.

There's room for another planet between Mars and Jupiter. Given that planets formed everywhere else, why couldn't another planet have formed there?

It's a massive game. It's probably the most important game that we've played all year long. We really now have no margin for error at all. So we've got to go on the road and play well and we really need to win. There's really no ifs ands or buts about it. We really have to go and play well and win a game, which we're certainly capable of doing.

I try to believe like I believed when I was five...when your heart tells you everything you need to know.
