Hot Rocks in Space
Astronomers have discovered a new "Earth-like" planet outside of our solar system. Orbiting the definitively-named star Gliese 876 this newly found planet has a day almost twice as long as ours, is six to eight times the mass of the Earth, and has a temperature of about 400 degrees to 700 degrees. Astronomers say it is unlikely such an environment would be able to support life.
Following this comparative logic: I have discovered a new breed of rhinoceros - it is covered in fur, chases cats, and sleeps at the foot of my bed.
