New Planet Discovered Orbiting Dangerously Close To Giant Star

A team of astronomers from Penn State and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland has discovered a new planet that is closely orbiting a red-giant star, HD 102272, which is much older than our own Sun. The planet has a mass that is nearly six times that of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. The team includes Alexander Wolszczan, the discoverer of the first planets ever found outside our solar system, who is an Evan Pugh Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the director of the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State; and Andrzej Niedzielski, who leads his collaborators in Poland. The team suspects that a second planet may be orbiting HD 102272, as well.

Orange launches fixed line services: competition smells a rat

Orange Poland, the wireless network operator owned by fixed line incumbent the TP Group, has launched a fixed line service of its own based on a wholesale line rental agreement with its parent. However, rival telcos are reportedly considering complaining to the telecoms regulator UKE, accusing Orange of receiving preferential terms. ‘In our opinion TP SA is conducting anti-competitive policies with the use of Orange brand. TP SA is raising retail prices and plans to increase wholesale prices for its competitors and acquire clients via the Orange brand. The problem is that, in our opinion, it might concern offering prices on the verge or even below costs,’ said Grzegorz Grabowski, director for regulative strategy at Netia. TP SA press officer Mariusz Loch responded that Orange was not receiving preferential treatment.
