ECONOMIST: Amateur astronomers join the ranks of the planet hunters
The same team of astronomers who discovered it had earlier found another planet, this time a gaseous giant similar to Neptune, orbiting the same star every 5.4 days.
To do that, Project 1640 effectively blots out the light from stars, which allows astronomers to more clearly observe what might be around them, including objects up to 10 million times fainter than the star itself (the image on the right above is a nearby star captured with the imaging system in place, compared to the same star captured without the new system on the left).

Not that Mr. Lee should be confused with Mr. Exuberance, but if he leads the Rangers to World Series glory in uncharted fashion his star as a corporate endorser will rise exponentially in much the same way that Cole Hamels experienced a hike in his star after leading the Phillies to a World Championship in 2008.

The GTS's star attraction is its torque-rich 4.8-liter V8, the same dry-sump, alloy-block engine as in the all-wheel-drive Panamera 4S but let off the leash a bit, with a higher redline (7, 100-rpm fuel shut-off), lumpier cam-lift logic, more aggressive transmission software (quicker, harder shifts available from the dual-clutch PDK gearbox), and additional cold-air boxes with active shutters behind lower lateral bumper intakes.
