Planetary Sanity Amongst the Naked Tree-Huggers?
A NASA illustration showing the newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting the star Fomalhaut. The brown and gold colors are a Saturn-like ring that astronomers say may encircle the planet. A vast disk of dust and debris surrounding Fomalhaut is shown in the background as the curving cloud-like feature that appears to intersect the 200-million-year-old star. The planet lies 1.8 billion miles inside the disk's inner edge. (ESA, NASA, and L. Calçada [ESO for STScI])
