there was a very good BBC series called "Space: with Sam Neill" a few years ago. Put alot of things into perspective. I'd recomened to anyone who can find it.

Very melodramatic but hey, it's Sam Neill.
Favourite quote: "Next time someone asks you where you come from, tell them this: You come from outer-space, and you were born in the heart of a Star...."

He's not wrong! Good ol' Sam.

My, my. A very interesting case of someone saying something without thinking and/or not collecting information.

Besides, it ain't planets, it are stars what the site originally linked is talking about. There is a very clear difference between stars and planets.

Uh...no. There are stars and planets on the page, none of which are made up.
