    Another system is no longer "solar", just planetary, as it evolves around another star, not the Sun. Or am I making this up?

    > The planet, known as 2MASS J2126-8140, is between 12 and 15 times the mass of Jupiter.

    Wouldn't object on the higher end of this range be regarded as a brown dwarf, making this system a binary star rather than a planet system?
