    Good god that has to be the worst way for a news website to share news.

    For those who don’t want to struggle, they found “Super Venuses”. Large planets with carbon-dioxide rich atmospheres. One of the slides does note that it was difficult to detect the carbon dioxide so it could still not be C02 rich.

    Fuck timed-slideshows for news. Give me an article.

    “new class of planets unlike any in our solar system” well we only have the 8 which only fit in a few broad categories, so yeah I’d expect there to be tons of planet types not represented in our solar system, depending how specific the classification gets.
