I love to be corrected thanks for taking the time. Carry on and i will have to go back to school because im envious of your superior knowledge.arrghh

That's ok. You should also know that at the low end of the Brown Dwarf (~10 Jupiter Masses) scale we're having trouble determining whether objects are planets or brown dwarfs. But in the case of Gliese 229 B there is no question.

By the way I love your name. Is that from the Black Sabbath song? (Great song!)

Yes. Mother Nature has a hell of an imagination. No planet formation model predicted earth size gas planets or gas giants orbiting close to their stars or super earths. The universe is far more diverse than our solar system that's for sure! I can't wait until we can take some detailed photos of these worlds!
