http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/24/BAG33PE14U26.DTL I went on vacation there once.

It sucked. Too rocky & a little too much Papa & Mama Bear & too little Baby Bear. It's a pain in the a$$ too have to stand exactly on the terminator & spin to keep from being too hot or too cold.

The Terminator was not too fond of it either. I lived in fear of extinction.

On the other hand it has hurricanes so Warren, RoG, & Rocket'll probably feel right at home.

"David Spergel, chairman of Princeton astrophysics department, noted in a telephone interview that the new planet, if it is indeed rocky, must be "tidally locked" to its sun the way our moon is to the Earth -- which means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.
But at the terminator -- the margin between the hottest and coldest parts of the planet -- Spergel agreed that liquid water could well exist, hurricane force winds would blow, and although the planet would be "radically different" from Earth, life might well exist in that difficult environment. "
