So there's the three stars, Trisolaran, and the dynamics is so crazy that it pushes these planets into these highly eccentric and twisted orbits.

And that's exactly what this planet appears to be.

So this planet actually looks more like, rather than Avatar, it actually looks more like Trisolaran or Solaris, whatever it's called.

Pull that article back up again, please, Jamie.

It's hard to tell.

It looks like it's about 100 times heavier than the Earth.

So that's about Saturn.

Wow.

Roughly Saturn.

But it's only a candidate, right?

So we need to get more images of it to confirm that it's real.

So I'm sure James Webb will point back at it.

But, I mean, look at it.

It looks pretty convincing.

I mean, how do you get that big blob of light sat there?

So I think the signal-to-noise is really good.

It kind of works, but it makes some bad predictions.

Yeah.

So Bode's law is essentially looking at the separation between the planets and the solar system.

So Venus, for instance, well, Mercury is about 0.4 AU.
