Float on Water? Can't Jupitar do the same? But that sounds pretty awesome. I want to see it. |

Sweet. I've never heard of a planet being able to float on water. |

Jupiter has a heavy, rocky core, so I don't think it could. |

I wonder what would happen if you stood on it. |

You'd fall right to the center of it. But you'd probably die from the harmful gases on the way down.

How big is it then? Is it million times the size of the earth? |

SMAAAASHH!!

Good luck with that, it's 450 lightyears away. And for something that big to float on water, it's probably lest dense. It's really just a gravitated cloud of gas. It may have even collapsed in on itself in the last 450 years. However, if that planet was as dense as the earth, it's gravatational pull would reel in and crush anything that came near it. As Matt says, it's gassy, so you'd probably just fall to the center. |

We've taken pictures of things billions of light years away. |

It looks cool. I like that it's large. I'm tired of getting all excited over "New Planet Discovered!" articles only to find out that they're the size of pebbles. |

ARR. Er, no. Saturn is less dense than water, though. So if you could find a bathtub big enough, it'd float. But it would leave a ring. Haha I'm the greatest. Seriously, though, Saturn is less dense than water. Interesting news, Matty. I'd like to learn more about its size and mass, though. we only really get its density and period. |
