It even featured on Newsnight, though Jeremy Paxman was offhand as usual.

I can understand if it featured on Newsnight, but I did not see it on any other news Programs (Channel 4, Newsround)

It makes Gliese 581 one of the few stars with 4 Planets, Along with Mu Arae and 55 Cancri (No links now; not enough time)

It's Great news! maybe by 2012 there would be another Planet discovered in the system. Right now, I'm waiting for the Kepler mission to find it's first Exoplanets.

If you like Physic+Astronomy, I prefer "A Brief History Of Time" and "The Universe In A Nutshell", both books were written by Stephen Hawking.

Well, I've stopped work on the Planet Database for some time, partly because of School, but mostly because celestia was getting a bit..scary. D:
Still, I may come back to it soon.

But my theory is a logic theory of the universe but if you are not catholic this won't make any sence acording to the bible God said he is [the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end] mean he has no end and no beginning {it does not make sence} but meaning enternal life so he was here before time and the big bang theory is has to be created when time was created but so God was here and created the big bang before time that solved now you must say then how was dinosours were here before man the 7 days represents thousands of years so one god created animals but did not dinosours so they must died before that day and then man
