Because water has a much lower density than rock, astronomers figured that the "most plausible scenario is a planet made mostly of water, with a significant atmosphere," says Charbonneau.

Yale's Cross Campus blog has the full story, which they dismiss as an obvious prank, but we're not so sure. Open-list emails on this campus are rejecting the YDN's parallels to 1995's Outbreak and betraying fears of a 28 Days Later scenario instead...
