Minor niggle time: only our system has the copyright over the term 'solar', since ours is the only star named Sol.
When I said "infant" I was referring to the system, not the star. And I stand corrected on the term "solar." It's just so widely used by scientists as Napoleon said that I just kinda threw it in there I guess. I too, hope that it is confirmed but its unlikely that it wouldn't be. This info didn't come by star wobble, but by image. Not the one you see but a lesser quality one. But this type of evidence rarely ends up being just a smudge or something.
