I believe Marc is away at the moment, but I'd like to thank him and the others who have produced textures for that program.

For those of you who dont know, they found like 2 or 3 types of planets, which are roughly the size of our ice giants ( Neptune n Uranus), BUT, they are not yet sure wheather or not they are solid surface planets, or if they are completely gaseous planets.

Heres what NASA had to say about the whole thing..

Funny how I was thinking about this idea DAYS before they made the announcement :D
