It is in galactic terms, it's a close neighbor.

Irrelevant. Picking and choosing the distance yardstick you use
for comparison doesn't make the star any closer.

It's not picking and choosing, the galaxy is a lot bigger than 90 light
years, a lot bigger, and so 90 light years represents a small area within
that space.

90 light years is not a "small" space by any human measure. Especially not in light of the fact that no human has ever been more than 250,000 miles away from home, and that even making the 4.3 light year trip to the nearest star is not only beyond our abilities, but may remain so forever.

Sometimes debunkers have problems with the most simple concepts.

Actually we just have problems with simple people like you.

Actually it's not at all what I was talking about. If you bother
to read further into the story than just the headline, you'll find
that the planet is only about the same distance from its star as
Mars is from the Sun. Doop! There is clearly more hype than
substance to this story.

Actually, this is what I read in his post, clipped right from it:

"What's more, the new planet has a circular orbit like Jupiter,
sits a Jupiter-like distance from its star, HD70642, and has no
bigger planets between it and the star, just like Jupiter."

That seems to say it sit's a Jupiter-like distance from it's star, not mars,
you know, exactly what you had been asking for...

Ok, If you want to just keep repeating the same erroneous claim over and over again as if that will somehow make it true, then you are clearly too stupid for me to bother wasting any more of my time on you. Hint: Have you looked at any of the other press releases on this discovery? No? Thought not. You may want to before you further destroy whatever little credibility you may think you have.

--- Flush remainder of clueless idiocy and empty bluster ---

Here's another hint son, you won't get far in the world by denying that the largest man-made object on Earth exists. Buy, rent, borrow or steal a clue.
