Whoa wait a second... I actually read the article (go figure). Check this out:

As planets go, this is a strange one. It has 8.2 times the mass of Jupiter, but it’s only 1.18 times the size of Jupiter. It has roughly the density of the Earth, but it’s made up almost entirely of hydrogen. In fact, it’s right at the boundary between planet and star. With only another 50% more mass, it would have begun nuclear fusion.

Weird shit!
