Hidden Alien Planet Revealed by Its Own Gravity


Reference: http://news.yahoo.com/hidden-alien-planet-revealed-own-gravity-180918022.html
Summary: Astronomers have discovered at least one, if not more, unseen alien planets.  It has the mass of abut Saturn and orbits its sun once every 57 days. 
Critique: I think that this was very interesting to know that there are other planets that are circling the same sun and we didn’t even know it! 
Impact: This is a neutral impact because it can be both good and bad.  It can be good because maybe the planets have an effect on us, but it can be bad because we don’t know very much about the planet, and it was just discovered. What else is out there in our solar system that we haven’t discovered?
