Creationist planet discovered.

Just heard on the olde steam wireless telegraph that NASA has "found" a one million year old planet. One wonders how anyone could lose such a thing in the first place.

Anyone know more?

Nasa's Spitzer telescope has found evidence around a distant star for a planet that may be less than one million years old.
The infrared space observatory studied five stars in the constellation Taurus, about 420 light-years away.

So that's where I left my Less-Than-1-Million-Year-Old-Planet! NASA has it!

They have so much of my stuff! Oh, why can't I have nice things?!?!

(For your information, I named the planet Britney Spears HBSPUH...)
