Distant planet's roasting orbit

Quite interesting ... details of a planet with an elliptical orbit.

Nasa's Spitzer space telescope has observed a far-off planet that experiences wild temperature swings.

The gas giant has an elongated orbit that sweeps it to within a few million km of its star, before taking it back out to more than 115 million km

I love old people.

As for the way our weather is now, they cannot fool the masses much longer. The change is already noticable all over the planet. And you do not need to be a weather man/women to know look out the window and see whats going down.
