Are you rocky or are you gassy?

Yes to both.

That question has so many possible answers... mostly depending on what I had for my most recent meal.

Been watching "How the Universe Works" from time to time and enjoying it. Nice to hear more and more tell us that "This is what we think, but we may be wrong because the more we learn, the more we know we've been wrong."

Don't hear that sort of statement on "Ancient Aliens"....

A star about 100 light years away in the Pisces constellation, GJ 9827, hosts what may be one of the most massive and dense super-Earth planets


Krypton?

Sometimes what you think is a gaseous bubble ends up being hot molten liquid.
