the new big "fluffy" planet

Scientists have discovered a new planet! This short article discusses the find. I'm disappointed in the name, TrES-4. Since it is bigger than Jupiter, shouldn't it be called Kronos or something? Oh but the Star Trek writers already used that name for the Klingon homeworld (pronounced Kronos, spelled Q'onoS). The Klingons wouldn't be pleased with scientists calling their planet "fluffy" though!
