   Ian Davis to All   
   An ignorant question   
   03 Sep 04 10:00:16   
   
   From: not@all.certain.retro.com   
      
   I've been following all the discoveries of the extrasolar planets with   
   great interest, particularly the recent Neptune-sized discoveries.   
   However, most of the new discoveries seem to have orbital periods measured   
   in days, meaning they must be moving extremely fast and very close to the   
   star. How then can they still be thought to be icy as well as rocky, as   
   recently reported?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Ian.
