Infant solar system in our backyard

With all the dinosaur bones he's planting, how does Satan have time to make it appear that planets are being formed?
My ignore list
"The lord doesn't work in mysterious ways, but in ways that are indistinguishable from his nonexistence." -- George Yorgo Veenhuyzen quoted by John W. Loftus in The End of Christianity (p. 103).  RE: Infant solar system in our backyard

Precisely! You know me already lol
God must have given up on human heathens and started over around the corner 
Exciting news there, hopefully it has been/will be confirmed. A million years for a star puts it in the bracket of a newborn, rather than the infant class, but a binary system to boot? As the cliché has it: watch this space.
Minor niggle time: only our system has the copyright over the term 'solar', since ours is the only star named Sol.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

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.

Whenever NASA has to deal with media news outlets, they frequently use terminology that even reporters can understand. Notwithstanding the distinct possibility that NASA chiefs, or their PR staff, don't give these things a second thought, sloppy though they are. That staccato percussive sound you hear is every astronomer on the planet banging their heads on their desks for every use of such terms.

Ok, I am going to bow out of this now, as the impression I appear to be giving is that I am somehow arguing trivial points again. I reiterate that this is a very exciting find and I hope we learn more about it in time to come.

I didn't take it that way my friend. I liked your comment. I was only acknowledging the validity of your statements. This is what I hate about text.

Different source on this subject. Slight differences in information but basically they are the same. One diff: this one says after a year of researching, it is confirmed (December 2, 2012 at 9:58 pm)SpecUVdust Wrote: I didn't take it that way my friend. I liked your comment.

I really shouldn't take out my frustrations on my friends; that's what the fundies are for (I bet there'll be more than a few complaints about that). Also I second your opinion of text-based communication.
