STAFFORDSHIRE, England, June 12 (UPI) -- Tom Wagg just became a university's star intern as a new planet he discovered two years ago has been confirmed.
Two years ago, the now 17-year-old student was working as an intern for Keele University in the U.K. when, using unique software called WASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets), he discovered an anomaly around a star. Looking further, he believed it to be a planet.
