[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I think what they mean is that the worlds are LIKE Mercury, in that they are rocky planets with no real atmospheres due to their proximity to their star (Mercury has an orbital period of 88 days). We can't tell their size - only their mass, but if they weigh in like Neptune, they're gonna be bloody big rocky worlds... Much larger than Earth, which is the largest rocky planet around here. And seeing these planets will be pretty well impossible. We can't see Mercury directly because it's too close to OUR sun. We'll have to improve our telescopic capability a LOT in order to see something far closer to a star forty light years away! Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
