Beauty is in the Mind of the Beholder

We're going to try a few different things here with CSS, but we'll be sticking with the following basic HTML structure: <div id="header"><h1>Tabs</h1><ul><li><a href="#">This</a></li><li id="selected"><a href="#">That</a></li><li><a href="#">The Other</a></li><li><a href="#">Banana</a></li></ul></div><div id="content"><p>Ispum schmipsum.</p></div>

Scientists have discovered a new type of alien planet — a steamy waterworld that is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus. The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ 1214b, which astronomers first discovered in December 2009.

"GJ 1214b is like no planet we know of," study lead author Zachory Berta of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., said in a statement.
