Zombie Fomalhaut B: A 'Dead' Exoplanet

Jimmy Zielinski posted this link on his Twitter page. Obviously, this means this is important. I didn't see this throughout the forums.

Fomalhaut b is an indirectly confirmed[2] extrasolar planet approximately 25 light-years away in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus.[3] The planet was discovered orbiting the A-type main sequence star Fomalhaut in 2008 in photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.[4] Fomalhaut b and three planets around HR 8799, whose discovery was announced simultaneously, were the first extrasolar planets whose orbital motion was confirmed via direct imaging. Initially thought to be a Jupiter mass gas giant planet, observations in 2011 by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array telescope indicate the planet must be more massive than Mars but no larger than a few Earth masses. Fomalhaut b has yet to be directly imaged.[2]

Thought this was funny

"The planet orbits Fomalhaut at a distance of approximately 115 AU (1.72×1010 km; 1.07×1010 mi), which is about 18 AU (2.7×109 km; 1.7×109 mi) closer to the star than the inner edge of the debris disk.[5] It was discovered after researchers spent eight years examining the system.[6]"

Didn't see this posted anywhere else. Your thoughts on this?
