1RXS J160929.1-210524 b you say? Sounds like some obscure tax form.
Infact it's not. The small orange blob at the top of the above image is the first direct imaging of a planet orbiting around another star, which is about 470 lightyears away. The star's name is "1RXS J160929.1-210524". The planet is a little overweight at 8 times the mass of jupiter and very creatively known as "b".

Yes indeed, we wouldn't want people frivolously having their day in court for a frivolous offence do we?
So where is an exhaustive list of "Swear Words"? Will I be charged for sitting at a restaurant and saying "that was a bloody good meal"?
Well Frak that.

Ms Bligh said the move would increase efficiency, save time and fast-track more important matters in the courts by stopping minor public nuisance offenders from clogging the justice system.
