Re: A Not So Ordinary Star
What ever happened to "Loki" who used to have shitfits anytime one of us posted any reference that Earth analogs might not be commonplace?
Nice article. Aside from the synchronized rotation aspect to the galactic arms, I'd said pretty much the same thing about the sun. You can't start with the 200-400 Billion stars of the galaxy and simply do percentages. Huge numbers of otherwise suitable "stars" live in bad places - Globular clusters or the galactic core.
