I don't follow this closely, just an armchair fan that reads Astronomy magazine, but I'm quite sure the New Scientist summary is much closer to the facts. Perhaps a closer reading of the Nat Geo article will reveal some additional qualifiers, even if stated poorly, to make the "about half" number closer to the truth. While it's true that various sources quote very different numbers and types of habitable exoplanets, all I've read imply the number is quite small when all factors are included. --Bob Prosperi |
