Creation Moment 11/1/2013 - Is it really "impossible"?


Kepler telescope finds an impossible world

"Astronomers have discovered an impossible world –
a rocky exoplanet that orbits its star at distance of less than 1.5 million kilometres
and swelters at 2,000 degrees Celsius. It is one of a number of such worlds
being discovered in the data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope,
but science cannot yet explain how these worlds came to be in such tight orbits.
What is known for sure about the planet, named Kepler-78b,...Its density is just
a tad less than Earth's – 5.3 grams per cubic centimetre compared to 5.5 –
meaning Kepler-78b must be made from iron and rock.
 It revolves around its star every 8.5 hours.
In other words, for every 24 hours on Earth,
 Kepler-78b goes through almost three of its years.
However, Kepler-78b could not have formed in its current location.
In the past its star was larger and the planet would have actually
been inside the star and incinerated. Therefore it must have
 moved into its orbit since then, but such a theory is not without its problems.
"It couldn't have formed in place because you can't form a planet inside a star,"
says Dimitar Sasselov . "It couldn't have formed further out and migrated
inward because it would have migrated all the way into the star.
The planet is an enigma." AstronomyNow


















Here is an answer to that
"ENIGMA"....
Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son,
...by whom also he made the worlds;
