For some reason, this planet makes me feel all good inside. :)

Man, that planet is so extreme. It probably drinks Mountain Dew.

If we could hear that planet, it would be saying: "Woooohhhhh... ALRIGHT YEAH... Wooooohhh"

Floats in water? Warm? Must be the breast planet!

Floats on water?

How the hell would they even be able to guess that it might 'float on water'.

Well they simply need filler for the news story, but Hydrogen and Helium both are lighter than water(H20) so one could reasonably conclude that they would 'float' on water; though they would more likely simply float off...

Analysis of the absorption and emission spectra of the planet and star will yield the constituents of the planet (and the star), which gives some of the information. Once the density is determined, the result is a specific gravity less than one. Done. Ain't science wunnerful? I really do hope it has a large, protruding, permanent "red spot". Then I can wank to the sky.

Astronomers can measure a planet's mass by measuring a periodic Doppler shift in light emitted from the planet's star. They measure its radius by looking at a periodic change in the planet's star's brightness, which decreases as the planet passes between it and us. Once these two properties are known, the planet's density can be calculated.

Chances are the planet would probably dissipate into the atmosphere of the planet that the water was on.

If your calculator adds your inputs 2 and 3 and gets 5, but the real problem you were trying to solve was 2 plus 2, the machine gives the wrong answer for your problem. The machine isn\'t broken and yet it got the wrong answer. It was gullible and believed your lie and behaved accordingly. - Sternwallow
