We'll be getting moon rocks in a while. There's a battle between USA and USSR, OOPS, I mean China and India, for a parking space on the Moon. Smile

All we know is that there were 3 planets orbiting HR8799 300 years ago.... That might no longer be the case if the aliens did not switch to clean fuel technology!

Also, for anyone else that was curious what HR stands for in the star's name/identifier, it is:
Harvard Revised catalogue:
A star catalogue of nearly all the stars brighter than magnitude +6.5 published by the Yale University Observatory. The original version was published in 1908 as the Harvard Revised Photometry Catalogue and it contains 9096 stars. The current version is the fifth edition.

It's Planet X... apparently it will come close to us in 2012 and that will be the end of life on our planet...

King Giddorah lives on that planet... someone should wake up Godzilla!
