I decided to give this new planet a try. Calling it Morpheus because I 
haven't seen the official name yet, and besides, this name makes sense to me 
because it is a Greek god of dreams or sleep. It's supposed to be about the 
size of the Moon, or a little less, but I don't know anything more than that 


What do you think about either my render here or the discovery? I read about 
it while browsing through space-related web sites, first, then saw it 
mentioned on TV news today. Here's one place that tells about it:

BTW, the bright speck along the left side of this image is the Sun. Nothing 
actually to scale here since the sun's disk would never be seen anyway. The 
planet is made from four multiplied functions used for isosurface; 3 
different crackle and 1 wrinkles. Stars are simply small-scaled granite.

Thanks for looking!
