Patrick--I've heard that this news was broken prematurely due to a Croatian astronomer breaking the embargo on this press release. Nature and ESO wanted to release this tomorrow with lots of science writers backing this up with more information...do you know anything about that? (I guess I'm asking if in your role with NASA if you get this type of info early as well)
I do receive advance releases containing embargoes from time to time but but nothing I've received recently mentioned the new planet. Here is a report of the situation: http://embargowatch.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/nature-and-eso-lift-exoplanet-e... patrick
