I didn't explain myself properly. The planet is almost certainly there. The atmosphere, color, etc.. of the planet is still in the speculation stage.

- DanielBMarkham 19y agoI understood what you meant. The wobble prediction method is a lot more mature than various models of planetary formation. And the planet cannot be directly observed, only properties about it inferred from the wobble. No spectral measurements of the planet or its atmosphere were made. It'll be great when we can start making direct observations instead of doing a lot of inference.
