I don't think any of the evidence

so solid that I would put money on it.

But it's well worth investigating because it would be really cool.

The 10 Earth mass is kind of special.

That's a very popular mass for extrasolar planets, and we don't really know what kind of planet that would be.

We have 15 and 20 Earth mass planets in our solar system.

Those are the ice giants.

But we don't really know what a super Earth would look like.

So it'd be really awesome to find one.

And I really hope it's there.

But again, Mike Brown is convinced he's going to find it this year.

He said that last year, too.

I hope he does.

He's actively looking.

And Scott and Chad are also actively looking.

So there's two groups right now surveying for this planet.

And we will just have to wait and see.

They're using lots of techniques looking at the dynamics of these extreme hyperbolic objects to narrow down where in the sky they should be looking.

And I wish them luck.

So now let's talk about this more modest-sized planet.
