Planetary system

Kepler-39b is generally considered a brown dwarf rather than a planet since it does not meet the standard definition_of_planet. Some authorities such as the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia and the NASA Exoplanet Archive include it among their list of confirmed planets.[2][6]

gollark: So to get to the point, no plug sockets?
gollark: I see.
gollark: It's not better built in. Printer functionality is notoriously unreliable and an external RPi thing will generally work much more sanely.
gollark: Much less horrible, generally, to just hook up an RPi to it for print handling.
gollark: You probably don't want that anyway.
