The old consensus in astonomy used to be that we’d only find terrestrial planets around stars much like our own sun. But as is the way of consesus, especially in astronomy, that view is changing, with more researchers saying that binary star systems are just as likely to have planet systems as singletons. Let’s just hope the governments of the world decide to spend more money on researching and (maybe) exploring them – as opposed to filling LEO with weapon systems.
