the star is a mere 130 light years away, making it bright and easy to study

A couple things.

1. I get that it's cool, but does it really matter?

2. If it is bright and easy to study, what took them so long to find it?

i once offered an exchange student to copy my work in science, and he refused, i got an A, he got a D.

then i told him that pencils were called dildos, and told him to ask a girl if he could borrow one

whoa! we have between 6 and 9 planets in our solar system too!

1. it helps our understanding of how solar systems are formed better along with physics in general

2. It is only recently considered "easy to study" The process they use to discover planets involves spectroscopy, changes in luminosity, and changes in positioning of the star itself implying wobble caused by gravity.

You are welcome.

I do hate science, and her boobs were fabulous

This solar system is shameful. Are all 9 planets on welfare? Will Europe help us invade or do the poor beleaguered American top 1% taxpayers have to fund the invasions. We can't be the universe's policeman.
