At least one in every four stars like the sun have planets about the size of Earth circling them in very close orbits, researchers said Thursday. That means our galaxy alone, with its 200 billion sun-like stars, has at least 46 billion Earth-size planets orbiting close to the stars, and perhaps billions more farther out in the so-called habitable zone, said astronomer Andrew Howard of the University of California, a co-author of the paper. The discovery was reported in the journal Science.

Again?
What about Drake equation?
What about the millions of people who still think that god created man and man alone to be the crown of the creation? It has been just few years since the catholic church publicly began to admit there might be other life in universe.... In short, most people in catholic culture are not ready for any kind of disclosure, for which there propably ain't reason either.
