Yes, I saw the article at space.com, interesting. One must note that very slight adjustments to the modeling makes a very big difference in the outcome.
One thing I have a hard time with is the generalization of *sun-like* stars when determining abundance of possible host. I was under the impression that there are only 4-5% of stars like the sun capable of maintaining an equilibrium of forces long enough to produce life on an other planet.
It's one thing to find planets around other stars but another to find the right star.
Happy hunting,
