A new planet was discovered. not a big deal, generally- except for this-
"The new planet, called TrES-1, is a gas giant about the size of Jupiter, located in the constellation Lyra ("the lyre"). It orbits its star about once every three days at a distance of just 4 million miles, much closer and faster than the planet Mercury goes around our sun, giving it a temperature of around 1,500 degrees F (815.55C). "
