Very interesting find here ...

Astronomers have detected a planet outside our solar system with not one, but three suns, a finding that challenges astronomers' theories of planetary formation.

The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of a triple-star system known as HD 188753 in the constellation Cygnus.

very interesting seanie, just goes to show things are not as simple and as easily boxed up as some astronomers would like. there is probably no simple theory of planet formation. it would be very boring place if it was.

Must be a real bugger trying to find a dark sky there to do a little observing!... :D

Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
