Last year, I wrote an SF story about a planet in the Gliese (gleesh) system, first identified in the early 2000s as an extra solar planetary system. Today, the first potentially inhabitable extra solar planet was identified - in the GLIESE system! So, my story, 'Journey Home', didn't cut the mustard but heck, there's got to be points for being on the astronomical button!
Where's the silly-big-grin icon when you need it?  ;D Oh, there it is.. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-09/researcher-says-chances-life-newly-discovered-exoplanet-100-percent

Science is what you do when the funding panel thinks you know what you're doing. Fiction is the same only without the funding.
