Space/Science — HabitableZone

Space/Science » in reply to A search for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of M dwarfs

finally someone discusses negative results

I've thought that planet searches can tell us as much about where there aren't planets as where there are planets, but no one ever talks about that. Glad to see a change.

There should be more than enough data out there to say that x percent of stars do not have planets of more than y earth masses with an orbital period of less than z years. I think that would be an interesting and useful piece of info.
