The youngest planet ever detected -- a baby less than one million years old -- may be orbiting a young star in the constellation Taurus, scientists using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope reported on Thursday, May 27, 2004. In this artist's conception, the possible newfound planet spins through a clearing in a nearby star's dusty, planet-forming disc. The possible infant planet was spotted circling a star known as CoKu Tau 4, some 420 light-years away, according to astronomer Dan Watson of the University of Rochester, New York.

Due to travel-induced weariness, this week's cartoon is a Classic (though still relevant) Slowpoke. We will return to our regularly-scheduled broadcast of incisive topical wit next week.

As referenced in the cartoon, I continue to be outraged every time I'm enjoying the scenery while flying, and a flight attendent snippily insists I shut my window for the benefit of those watching "Three Men and a Little Lady."
