A quote from Buster Bluthe kicks off this newest planetary discovery, a planet scientists say "is unlike any other." It's over 2 times the size of earth, yet less than half the density and with a steamy atmosphere, it's believed that this planet is mostly made up of water.
Scientists say that this planet may contain super-fluid water or hot ice, natural phenomenons made possibly by the high pressure, but that it once may have harbored more Earth-like temperatures as it was drawn closer and closer to it's orbited star.

Given that i seem to be posting new news about planets every other week, I'm gonna throw a guess out that this won't be the last planet "unlike any other" that we'll find in our lifetime.
