Baby Planet

Bede sent me a link to this news: Hawaii astronomer captures image of forming planet

However, the picture you will see is an artist's rendering.

The newly forming planet's name is LkCa 15 b, and it's 450 light years away. "LkCa 15 b" is no name for a newborn. How about Luka Callista?

    And now, a lullaby for a baby planet... someone needs to write that song. Maybe you? Maybe me. Maybe both?
