SovietOmega 09/15/11 5:14:00 PM #23:	given the commonality of binary systems, it is only natural that we would find planets, and there is some evidence that they might even prove better for habitable zones. it is amazing we are developing better technology to detect smaller and more varied types of planets though. i mean, just look at the explosion of discovered planets in the last decade. it is only a matter of time before something truly groundbreaking is discovered. -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out <cite>SovietOmega posted [p:342010] in Planet orb...
