More habitable planets?

Interesting link once again on space. (I'm a space freak.)


There's a formula that is thrown out every now and again that the chances of earth-like planets with an earth-like solar system, (I think our sun is actually called Sol:) out there are slim. Therefore it would be hard to find life out there. But even with the astronomically low chances there should be some ten-thousand earth-type systems out there with that many depository of earth-like environments. With this new finding that more planets can form under worse conditions I wonder if it throughs the solar system matching formula off.

Just something to think about next time you look at that star-filled sky.

I hope this post makes sense, since I know I've been up way to long and my cognitive processes are starting to fail me. I hate waking up the next day and marveling at some stupid thought I've made.
