HN user avar posted a link to Phil Plait's writeup in this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1741330. Then HN user hartror suggested, "His write up is far more suitable for the HN audience, has plenty of science, grains of salt and uses the very scientific word 'probably' a lot (that isn't a joke)." So I figured it would be worth submitting. It seems to be a more levelheaded commentary on the discovery.

Having read both, I agree - this is a more balanced report. The other one seems to blur facts and supposition a bit. Thanks!

Apart from the obvious fact that this is a very cool finding, I have to say I love the term "Goldilocks zone". I wonder if we can misappropriate it for other uses.

Oh, yeah! Thanks for reminder! Time to re-read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and to watch the Bladerunner again. Immigrate or degenerate.. ^_^
